According to the statement given by the erstwhile Registered Nurse, Gita Proudman I think that she did not handle the situation of the dying child appropriately. Gita has been reported to let the child born with various physical deformities, die a peaceful death in her arms (youtube.com, 2017). She held the child for quite a while until he stopped breathing and showed no signs of survival where she defended herself by saying that she merely followed the order of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) by not resorting to any therapeutic intervention. Hence, under these circumstances I feel she did not complied with the CNO’s Ethics Practice standards. The noble profession of nursing as per the guidelines by the competent authority has identified certain ethical values comprising of client wellbeing, client choice, privacy and confidentiality, respect for life, maintenance of commitments, truthfulness and fairness. The respect for life ethical attribute has been violated in this context by simply letting the child die without even trying for taking measures to restore his life and intervening accordingly. No effort for preservation of the precious human life was made (cno.org, 2017). However, the situation could have been handled differently by means of abiding by the informed decision-making process through collaborative approaches. The RN  could have discussed the matter with her fellow colleagues and should have brought to the notice of the attending physician before acting all by herself. An integrative approach in nursing is crucial to procure optimum benefit out of collaborative practice and judgment making (Hamric et al., 2013).
