Ethical Case Studies: One of the strategies that to assess/evaluate learning is using case studies. These problem-solving cases help students to go beyond the course content and apply their knowledge to practical situations (Grimes, 2019).

The International Code of Ethics for Nurses developed by the International Council for Nurses (ICN) aligns with the learning objectives and program outcomes, emphasizing the importance of professional knowledge about nursing ethics and critical thinking abilities to integrate into nursing practice (Toumová et al., 2021). |
Role-playing/Simulation: Patient simulation and role-playing show improved knowledge and self-efficiency. Furthermore, it enhances communication skills to deal with similar situations in clinical areas (Cortés-Rodríguez et al., 2021). Similarly, role-playing exercises about challenging ethical situations allow nurses to practice communication and decision-making skills in a controlled and experimental environment before encountering them in clinical areas. |
