摘要：
The concept of human dignity is a term commonly used in professional codes and standards for biomedical healthcare disciplines and professional nursing practice. What is the definition of this ethical concept? This column offers a unique definition from a nursing disciplinary perspective. Common straight thinking or ethical questions emerging with the application of the concept in practice are offered along with a discussion of misunderstandings regarding the use of the concept in nursing practice and in professional healthcare arenas.
