Nurses are trusted to be truthful and to provide considered, substantiated information in a neutral way. Yet the COVID-19 crisis has highlighted how some nurses engage in misinformation on social media and in other venues. This article explores the reasons why people believe they are fully informed, including the possible influence of confirmation biases. It also describes the augmented ethical responsibilities of nurses to examine in depth what they think they know and understand and to account for cognitive biases. Strategies for nurse leaders, managers, and educators are provided to facilitate good practice and help ensure nurses are held accountable for their actions and social media postings.
The author explores how the COVID crisis has inspired some nurses to engage in misinformation on social media and other venues; describes the ethical responsibilities of nurses to seriously examine what they think they know and understand; and offers strategies for nurse leaders, managers, and educators to address misinformation.
