Which document guides nurses' commitment to demonstrate ethical values and standards?

• A. Kelly's Criteria (1981)
• B. Nursing Social Policy Statement
• C. Collegiality
• D. Barriers in IPN

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how a formal framework shapes how nurses show ethical values in everyday practice. Kelly's Criteria from 1981 provides a concrete set of standards for professional nursing behavior, including ethical responsibilities, accountability, and commitment to patient welfare. It translates ethical principles into actionable expectations, helping nurses consistently demonstrate ethical values in their decisions and actions.

The other options aren’t as directly about daily demonstration of ethics. The Nursing Social Policy Statement outlines the profession’s role and duties to society at a broad level, rather than a specific, actionable set of criteria for daily conduct. Collegiality focuses on working relationships, not a defined ethical-standards framework. Barriers in IPN refers to obstacles rather than a guiding document for ethical behavior.
