Four principles (balance, comprehensiveness, safety, and openness) suggest that the media and patients should be fully informed. The "cooperation" principle may be taken to mean that the nurse's name should not be released without her consent. If the nurse did not consent, judgment would have to be made about releasing the name, but the weight of the principles suggests it should be disclosed. The principles favour disclosure.
