Autonomy, repecting the difference, beneficence, as well as no harm to the patients etc involves in the code of ethics. Nurse should indulge themselves to provide better treatment to the patients. Nurse should eliminate the risk of medical errors, negligence etc.

It is important to obtain consent form from the patients. This allow the patient to understand the treatment, procedures etc that he will be undergoing further. A signed consent form act as a proof that the patient is agree with the treatment procedures. The limitations of the consent form is that when patient sign the consent form, they are mostly emotional or stressed. So in this case they don't read the procedure as whole and hence sign form as it is. They don't intervene anything regarding the treatment and hence it is not ethically correct.
