Interpretive Statement 6.1 focuses on nurses upholding a moral obligation that aligns with what is good and what is considered to be norms or virtues for all. The description of virtues states "Virtues as learned habits, of character, are formed, cultivated, maintained, and flourish when the moral environment models and fosters them (American Nurses Association, 2021).

All nurses hold a moral obligation and a personal responsibility for the healthcare environment in which they work. Section 6.3 speaks to the nurse being responsible for the direct care process of patient care, specifically regarding respectful patient communication, and communication between colleagues. With this moral obligation, the nurse holds the right to provide feedback to the administration for any decision-making that dictates the nurses' working conditions, and health practice standards. If one of these rights is broken, and concerns for patient care, or working conditions are not addressed, then the professional nurse should not remain employed with this administration as it compromises their morality, and ability to give quality healthcare to all.
