Description:
Every day nurses are required to make ethical decisions in the
course of caring for their patients. Ethics in Nursing
Practice provides the background necessary to understand
ethical decision making and its implications for patient care. The
authors focus on the individual nurse?s responsibilities, as
well as considering the wider issues affecting patients, colleagues
and society as a whole.



This third edition is fully updated, and takes into account
recent changes in ICN position statements, WHO documents, as well
as addressing current issues in healthcare, such as providing for
the health and care needs of refugees and asylum seekers, bioethics
and the enforcement of nursing codes. This publication from the
International Council of Nurses is the essential resource for
nurses seeking to understand ethical decision making, written by
world experts in nursing ethics.
