Abstract

With the recent update of the Nursing Professionals Code of Ethics, this became known only by professionals. Objective: to evaluate nurses' knowledge of the Nursing Professionals Code of Ethics. Method: This is an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study, with data collected from September to October 2018, through an online questionnaire, via the Google Forms® Platform. 217 nurses participated in the research, 190 (87.46%) female and 27 (12.44%) male. Result: Regarding rights, the participants obtained similar responses, considering the most coherent alternative. As for duties and prohibitions, they showed great diversity and disagreement between the alternatives chosen, showing doubt or misunderstanding on the part of the participants. Conclusion: It was possible to observe that the nurses' knowledge about the Nursing Professional Code of Ethics is limited in relation to the duties and prohibitions of the profession.
