| Resumo: | Theoretical reflection on the desirable professional ethical behavior that nurses must adopt in their managerial role in nursing care once their managerial actions demand ethical decision-making on patients’ welfare. Meeting patients’, nursing teams’, and organizations’ needs urges ethical decision-making on the part of nurses, because ethics expresses both social and personal values, built, elaborated and introjected throughout the existential trajectory, in personal, social and professional dimensions; in it, the action principles are also found. Thus, an ethical behavior demonstrated by nurses is highly relevant, taking into account that nursing evolution and social recognition are verified when its professionals, by means of the adoption of certain behaviors, are committed to increasing the quality of health care by complying with universal ethical principles concerning the preservation of human dignity, welfare, harm prevention, and justice.
