SOLUTION
When it comes to the healthcare system, management and healthcare professionals are both crucial components; nevertheless, they function according to distinct ethical norms that are reflective of their respective positions and responsibilities. The American College of Hospital Executives (ACHE) Code of Ethics provides a set of principles that are intended to be followed by hospital management. These principles center on stewardship, operational efficiency, and ethical decisions made about administrative matters (Egert et al., 2023). In contrast, healthcare providers, such as nurses, adhere to professional rules such as the Nursing Code of Ethics, which emphasizes providing direct patient care, advocating for patients, and fulfilling clinical responsibilities.
