It will be recalled, from Part 1 of this series of articles, that a nurse is under a mandatory, absolute duty to speak out where a patient's care is, or may be, compromised. Section 10 of the UKCC Code is explicit: Each registered nurse...shall...make known to appropriate persons or authorities any circumstances which could place patients/clients in jeopardy or which militate against safe standards of practice. UKCC Code pp2 and 3.
从本系列文章的第一部分可以回忆起，护士有强制性的绝对义务，在患者的护理受到或可能受到损害时大声疾呼。英国中央护士、助产士及健康访视人员理事会（UKCC）守则第10条明确规定：每位注册护士……应向适当的人员或当局通报任何可能使患者/客户处于危险境地或不利于安全执业标准的情况。英国中央护士、助产士及健康访视人员理事会守则第2页和第3页。
