The followingguidelines will assist the student in meeting this expectation.1. Nursing students ensure that persons receiving care are informed of their student status(CNA, 2008, p. 50.) The nursing student is respectful of client‟s /patient‟s values, ethnicity,and religion, and the inherent worth of individuals.2. When a nursing student does not wish to provide care to a client for ethical or religiousreasons or because of a conflict in values, the student should discuss the assignment withthe instructor/preceptor as soon as possible. Once assigned, the nursing student mustcontinue to provide care until the issue is resolved.University of Toronto Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing Calendar 2012-2013 96
