Sinopsis

Looks at ethical procedure in the choices and decisions made by nurses with regard to such questions as obeying doctors, covering up of a colleague's mistakes, recent developments in foetal surgery and whether the nurse's advocate role is tenable in practice. These questions are taken from the personal case studies recounted by 450 nurses in Britain and North America. The issues are to be found in many hospital situations and are faced in day-to-day practice by student and qualified nurses. A commentary is provided on the ethical principles involved. This book should prove of relevance to nursing staff as the advent of Project 2000 means a knowledge of ethics is now a statutory requirement.

Reseña del editor

Ethical nursing practice is now a statutory requirement, necessitating understanding by practitioners and students. Consequently, Project 2000 gives it greater emphasis. This ideal textbook for both common foundation and branch programmes and extending to post-registration courses, rests on case studies distilled from the authors' research with 450 nurses in Britain and North America. Ethical principles, drawn out from the case studies in a vivid and assimilable style, are shown to relate to real- life conflicts, not first to abstract theory.
