Professional behavior comes to mind again for this subtopic. It can be something as simple as telling a patient you'll be right back with painkillers. And then, as soon as you leave their room, a million other things happen all at once. Things like that are out of your personal control. If your client is in a lot of pain and you promised you would return with painkillers, you should do so. If a situation arises that does not involve that specific client and for whatever reason takes priority, the nurse should at least return to the client's room to explain that it may take a moment or two due to another situation. The key aspect here is to build a sense of trust. This goes hand in hand with personal life too. Your next of kin should trust you. How can you build a relationship without trust? As a mother, I want my children to have absolute confidence that what I say is true. I would never want my children to believe that I was leading them down the wrong path or that I didn't have their best interest in mind. The same goes for every patient I care for. In an academic context, this subtopic resembles homework and deadlines. If you always make excuses as to why one or more assignments were not completed, you are not establishing any trust or relationship with the instructor. Responsibility for one's behavior Responsibility is fundamental in all aspects of a person's life. Until you learn to be responsible, it will be difficult to achieve maturity. In a work setting, as a nurse, medication errors occur. Speaking from personal experience, a drug run occurred because an antibiotic was not given due to a patient receiving blood during the scheduled time. I had no choice but to keep this... in the center of the paper... because it would be an act of good professionalism to announce that any information provided was done in error and should have been omitted during the presentation. Even in a personal situation, at home with a family member, mistakes should be addressed in a timely manner. The main point of this subtopic is, once again, trust and responsibility. When a mistake is made in any situation, it should be fixed. Preferably as soon as it happens, but every situation has its own aspects that make it unique. The main point of this article is about being responsible for your actions and building trust and relationships. Whether it's a family member, an instructor, or a boss at work. Nobody is perfect. Mistakes will happen. What matters is how a person behaves. Ideally the person will behave in a manner of good professional character
