I had already gained consent from patient A for myself and the nurse to give a bed bath in accordance with the NMC code of conduct (NMC, 2008) and following this I went to collect the correct equipment to perform the task. As patient A had Clostridium Difficile they needed to be isolation nursed. We isolate nurse to “prevent the risk of spreading germs to other patients and staff” (NHS, 2010).

1) In my profession, this provision of the code of ethics in used on a daily basis. I work in a critical care unit where patients are known to lose their dignity due to the procedures, tubes, monitors, video equipment and related diagnosis. All of our patient’s are video monitored on a constant basis. If a patient is going to be exposed, I instruct the monitor tech to turn off the camera at the nurse’s station so the patient’s privacy is maintained.
