The Jehovah's Witness Society is a fundamentalist Christian community. They are famously known for their definite rejection of blood products, even when death may be the result. This rejection is founded on the belief that transfused blood is a nutrient, with Bible passages reputedly forbidding transfusion: Acts 15:20, 29 and Leviticus 17:11–14. The punishment for blood receiving products is loss of eternal life and on earth, a type of banishment.
According to Sole, Klein and Moseley (2013) they described consent as the principle of autonomy based on a competent adult that have right to self-determination and who can make decision about their rejection or acceptance of medical care or treatment. The NMC code of conduct (2010) demonstrated the need for a registered nurse to always obtain consent for any intended treatment or care and to respect the patient's right to accept or decline treatment. However, the competence for giving consent is not exercised by every individual patient (example, mental ill patient and a minor). Moreover, there are exceptional situations where a nurse could decide and carry out a treatment without consent (example, in emergence), she but has to demonstrate that she has acted in the best interest of the patient. .
According to Edwards (2009), he described ethic as an employment of theoretical principles to a moral problem to aid to determine if an action is right or wrong. The significance of the credibility of medical regulatory bodies to uphold human right during delivery of care and treatment have led to the creation of ethical guidelines for registered health professionals. According to the ethical theory of principlism (Beauchamp and Childress, 1989), which identified core components of today's guidelines (autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence and justice) the principle of beneficence suggests that every prescribed care or treatment must be to the best interest of the patient.
