It seems that the concept of an ethical practice environment includes both subjective and objective elements. On the one hand, nurses should possess the needed moral qualities for advocating their moral position and respect of interests of patients and the other health care providers. On the other hand, they should advocate the establishment of such institutions that will promote ethical behavior of all individuals and professionals. Only the proper combination of objective and subjective elements can lead to long-term positive changes. My selected APN role focuses on risk management issues such as relevant therapies and practices. It seems that nurses should select such practices that will allow optimize the structure of risks in the long run.

Moreover, nurses should demonstrate well-developed leadership qualities. They are crucial for expanding the scope of ethical operations to the maximum possible degree. Advanced professional nurses may participate in various training programs to increase their professional level and become more aware of the potential ethical dilemmas. It is necessary to integrate the latest theoretical models with the actual nurses’ practice. As the structure of interests and ethical needs is always different, it is reasonable to adjust it to the actual conditions. Therefore, professional nurses should be able to apply various tools for promoting their ethical actions and behavior. Nurses should be especially concerned with long-term interests because short-term gains should not lead to adopting improper ethical choices.
