Answer:
The textbook
The book titled Ethics and Law for Australian Nurses has been authored by several persons including Kim Atkins, Sheryl de Lacey, Bonnie Britton, and Rebecca Ripperger. The focus of the book is to aid the training nurses in generating a rigid moral and professional sense of identity (Atkins et al. 2017). The book has 12 chapters with each addressing a key aspect of the Australian nurse training.
Chapter to be discussed
Of all the 12 chapters of the book, it is of the best interest if the 1st chapter, titled understanding the human person, is put into consideration. Below are the explanations of the nature of the chapter.
- The chapter explains various ways on how beliefs that a person has affects the way he/she may care for others and even themselves.
- The chapter, in its beginning, tries to explain how the human body is complex to the learning nurse.
- Finally, the book puts into consideration the teaching of how the human body is vulnerable and the need for people, especially the nurses, should offer care to other persons.
Personal experience in relation to the chapter
By reading this book, it is very open to understanding that the humans differ from other animals even though we, both humans and other mammal animals, are conceived in the bodies of our parents. However, the human child is born prematurely and must be cared for in order for the newborn to understand how he/she should interact with other humans. Unlike the animals’ young ones, they do not need the extensive care as they lack the human-like features. This understanding has made me realize why we, humans, need to care for the newly delivered children until they are healthy and independent of the care (LeMone et al. 2015). Personally, over the past, I always thought it is just a by the way aspect put into work but I have now a clear understanding of the need to care for the human body since it is born vulnerable to damage at a tender age.
