Nurses' duties and patients' rights have been important foci in nursing. Nurses' rights legitimate the power and responsibility of the profession. There are few published articles on this subject in the nursing science literature. This article is a theoretical examination of nurses' rights that aims to structure (i.e. show the internal logic of) those that have been little studied. It is based on the philosophical literature and published research. Nurses' rights can be divided into: human and civil rights, rights based on health care legislation, professional rights, and earned rights. In this context, professional rights relate to nursing and also to tasks shared with other health care professions. Analyzing nurses' rights will help to promote these rights, improve nurses' position both nationally and internationally, and provide possibilities for enhancing patient care.
护士的职责和患者的权利一直是护理领域的重要关注点。护士的权利使该职业的权力和责任合法化。在护理科学文献中，关于这个主题的已发表文章很少。本文是对护士权利的理论探讨，旨在构建（即展示内在逻辑）那些尚未得到充分研究的权利。它基于哲学文献和已发表的研究。护士的权利可以分为：人权和公民权、基于医疗保健立法的权利、专业权利和应得权利。在这种情况下，专业权利与护理以及与其他医疗保健专业共享的任务有关。分析护士的权利将有助于促进这些权利，提高护士在国内外的地位，并为改善患者护理提供可能性。
