The selected topic for the discussion is beneficence. The principle of beneficence is the obligation of the provider to act for the benefit of the patient (Varkey, 2021). It supports several moral rules to protect and defend the right of others, prevent harm, remove conditions that will cause damage, help persons with disabilities, and rescue persons in danger (Varkey, 2021). The work of mental health nurse practitioner aid in improving the health and well-being of the public mental health.
Furthermore, the mental health nurse practitioner has the ethical and professional obligation to play a leading role in improving child and adolescent mental health(Kumar et al., 2020). The provider must do the right thing for the patient regardless of the circumstances. One of the best examples of beneficence I have witnessed from a provider as the provider goes above and beyond to help a patient during a difficult time and calls insurance companies to intervene for them, so they pay for a medication that she needs. With the achievement of development and emotional milestones, healthy social development, and practical coping skills, mentally healthy children have a positive quality of life. They can function well at home, in school, and in their communities (Kumar et al., 2020).
The need to choose diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the light of uncertain prognosis and consideration of the principles of patient beneficence (Toney-Butler & Martin, 2022). The Nurse Practice Act, enacted by the Florida Legislature, provides a framework for delivering safe, professional nursing care and offers a layer of protection to the individuals seeking such care (Toney-Butler & Martin, 2022). Board rules must follow the laws enacted by the legislature and adopted in the Nurse Practice Act. As a nurse, my main goal is to put the patients first and do the right thing for them. The same mentality goes when I start to practice as a practitioner; the point is to keep the patient rather and do the right thing for them, mainly because of the lack of mental health care facilities.
