Nursing regulations exist to protect and benefit the health, safety, and welfare of the individual. Accountability is a multifaceted concept with many interpretations. All nurses are expected to engage in professional role activities appropriate to their education, experience, and position. Ultimately, nurses are accountable to themselves, their patients, and their peers for their professional nursing actions. This article addresses regulatory statutes and other issues of importance in the perioperative setting, including ethical and legal considerations, patient advocacy, delegation of tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel, and selected expanded roles in perioperative nursing practice.
护理法规的存在是为了保护个人的健康、安全和福祉，并使其受益。问责制是一个多层面的概念，有多种解释。所有护士都应根据其教育背景、经验和职位开展与其专业角色相适应的活动。最终，护士要为其专业护理行为对自己、患者和同行负责。本文论述了围手术期环境中的管理法规及其他重要问题，包括伦理和法律考量、患者权益维护、将任务委托给无执照辅助人员，以及围手术期护理实践中选定的扩展角色。
