DNP 720 Nursing Law and Ethics explores the essential legal provisions in health care, particularly in nursing, and the broader issues relating to human rights, ethical decision-making, regulating the nursing profession, confidentiality, safe practice, vulnerable people, elder abuse, and employment regulations. Through this course, students learn and apply a bioethical and legal framework within which nursing care should be delivered, grounded upon the rationale that ethics informs the law and regulates the conduct of citizens and healthcare professionals.
