Environmental Health/RNnoHarm
The primary dictum for registered nurses, as health care professionals, is First, do no harm. In the increasingly complex environment in which health care is delivered today, registered nurses are the premier advocates for:
- The safety and quality of patient care
- The health and safety of registered nurses and other health care professionals and health care workers
- Health care practices which do no harm to the public health environment outside the settings in which health care is delivered.
