    Nurses are responsible for making decisions within their career limits and working on the basis of their ethical values. Values are inherently important concepts and can be represented as the basis on which the criterion of right or wrong is chosen by a person or group(Zahedi et al, 2013; Nursing
and Midwifery Board Australia, 2018). Professional values are decided by skilled organizations and organizations, taking into account the elevated status of nursing. The limits and boundaries of intervention in our country are, in many cases, determined by Islam and our Constitution. They are universal and transnational, just as ethical ideals are in line with religious beliefs. The following is the case study of Katie who is RNP at the hospital and she has been observed for not following the code of ethics in terms of taking care of the patients well. A close observation of her case reveals that she has violated the standard code of nursing practices (Zahedi et al, 2013; Nursing and Midwifery Board Australia, 2018).
    At first, it is significant to note here that the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia has provided guidelines of practices to nurses. There are seven basic standards that are applicable to all RNPs who are at work in some way or other. Under standard one, in making decisions and delivering healthy, quality nursing practice within person-centered and evidence-based contexts, RNs use a range of thought techniques and the best available proof (Zahedi et al, 2013; Nursing and Midwifery Board Australia, 2018). Under standard two, it is mentioned that RN practice is focused on engaging in successful clinical and professional partnerships purposefully. In the sense of reciprocal trust and respect in professional relationships, this involves collegial generosity (Zahedi et al, 2013; Nursing and Midwifery Board Australia, 2018). Standard three discusses that as supervised health practitioners, RNs are accountable and responsible for ensuring that they are secure and have the capacity to practice. This entails ongoing self-management and reaction when there is doubt about the potential for practice of other health professionals. RNs are accountable for their professional growth and contribute to others' progress. They are also accountable for providing information and education so that individuals can make decisions and take action in relation to their wellbeing (Zahedi et al, 2013; Nursing and Midwifery Board Australia, 2018).
In the same context, Standard four highlights RNs perform thorough and systematic reviews correctly. As the basis for practice, they interpret knowledge and data and transmit findings. Standard five projects RNs are responsible for nursing practice preparation and correspondence. In collaboration, approved plans are made. They are focused on the evaluation by RNs of detailed, appropriate information and recorded and communicated facts and standard six mentions clearly that RNs include and can delegate acts driven by quality and ethical...
