Description
Nursing Ethics: A Practical Guide to Making Ethical Decisions in Nursing Practice. This introductory text provides a clear and accessible framework for understanding and tackling difficult moral problems in nursing practice. It takes a principle-based approach, making it easy to apply ethical principles to everyday situations. The book includes detailed explanations of key moral theories and concepts, as well as numerous case examples that bring the material to life. The new edition has been significantly revised and updated to reflect current best practices, including discussion of the Nursing and Midwifery Code (2008) and a dedicated chapter on genetics and its complex ethical implications. This makes it an essential resource for both students and practitioners of nursing and healthcare.
