Fundamental to professionalism are the antecedents of self-awareness, personal values, professional values, ethical values, nursing social contract, communication skills and knowledge, ethical values, and a high level of integrity. When professionalism is optimally functioning, it can be measured by competence, patient focused, clear and accurate communication, critical thinking, accountability, responsibility, lifelong learning, caring, advocacy, and teaching. When these attributes are achieved positive outcomes occur such as continuity of care, continual professional growth, active in professional organization, and safe patient environment. When professionalism is compromised the following negative outcomes may occur - unsafe patient care, loss of professional license, criminal and civil law consequences, and violation of current practice standards. The interrelated concepts of Diversity, Communication, Evidence-Based Practice, Leadership and Management, Teamwork/Collaboration, Ethical and Legal Precepts, Safety, and Clinical Judgment may impact Professionalism in a positive or negative way depending on their level of functioning and vice versa. Sub-concepts are components of Professionalism and are good teaching points. When negative consequences occur due to lack of professionalism, the antecedents must be reviewed to determine which antecedent(s) should be strengthened to assist in meeting the required attribute standard. ................
