Australian
 The ICN Code of Ethics for
Nurses - Produced by the International Council of Nurses (ICN), this code,
revised in 2000, is "a guide for action based on social values and
needs. (It) makes it clear that inherent in nursing is respect for
human rights, including the right to life, to dignity and to be treated
with respect." The Code "guides nurses in everyday choices and it
supports their refusal to participate in activities that conflict
with caring and healing."
