Correct Answer - Option 2 : rules for right behavior

Explanation:

  • Nursing ethics is the applied discipline that addresses the moral features of nursing practice.
  • It is a subset of health care ethics or bioethics.
  • Three dimensions of nursing ethics interrelate as they prescribe ethical norms, describe ethical aspects of nursing, and generate ethical guidance.

So, Rules for right behavior are means of ethics in nursing.
