Once they have agreed to provide care, nurses are obliged to ensure continuity.
Nurses have the right to refuse care for professional or personal reasons, except in emergencies or in cases where they are failing in their duty of humanity.
If the nurse is obliged to interrupt or decides not to provide care, he or she must, provided that the patient is not harmed, explain the reasons, refer the patient to a colleague or a suitable structure and pass on the information needed to continue the care.
