The ANA's Code for Nurses (1985) states that the nurse acts to safeguard the patient and the public when health care and safety are affected by incompetent, unethical, or illegal practice of any person. Nurses are obligated to follow the orders of a licensed physician or other designated health care provider unless the orders would result in patient harm.
