In daily lives, nurses are accountable for the work they do in clinical. The nurse should be responsible to self, peers, employer, and patient. Examples of professional accountability to self in nursing would be nurses working on unsafe nursing practices, like if the unit is overload with high acuity patients and more work overload. A nurse should be responsible for refusing the work in an unsafe setting to protect the public and be accountable. The nurses should make sure that organizational policies and refuse to work in a bizarre environment. If the nurse cannot take responsibility for the vast number of patients, it is better to discuss with the authority in time rather than face the consequences due to lack of care. (Murphy, 2020)
