To begin, I viewed the clip “It’s A Nurse”, which is what my response is in reference to.
The first ethical concept I noticed in the clip is ethics of care. After the patient passes away the narrator, who I conclude to be the mother, is informed that she may take as long as she needs and the nurses take actions to comfort her given the situation such as keeping the patients undergarments on.

One ethical concept I wish to apply to my life is ethics of care. I strongly believe that I practice this concept but I also feel that there is always room for improvement and aiming to do great in the future. In regards to ethics of care I strongly wish to always do the best in light of my patients and their families. It is easy to get tired and frustrated throughout a shift and unintentionally take
