Ethical/Legal Accountability

Accountability incorporates being responsible for one's actions, and accepting the consequences of one's behavior. It includes adhering to accepted ethical and legal standards.

A nurse's professional accountability is defined as expectations and outcomes that are generated by a variety of stakeholders, including: nurses themselves, the nursing profession, the work organization, consumers, and community, or general public.
