Discussion 1: The ethical codes for each profession demand a high level of integrity, honesty, and responsibility.

Describe how ethics and the law have an impact on the various health care professions, or in your specific area of health care. Provide at least two examples. In your replies to peers, discuss what you have learned in this discussion that applies to your future practice.
I plan on pursuing my degree and eventually becoming a Registered Nurse. That is my profession of choice.

A professional who exceeds his or her scope of practice can be found to have violated licensure provisions. Consider under what circumstances a professional’s legal responsibilities may overlap with his or her ethical duties. Describe how the scope of practice of health care professionals is changing. Explain your future scope of practice as a health care professional. In your replies to peers, discuss one current change from the COVID-19 pandemic that has impacted the scope of practice for health care professionals.
