Written by a nurse and a philosopher, 'Ethics in Nursing' blends the concrete detail of recurring problems in nursing practice with the perspectives, methods, and resources of philosophical ethics. It stresses the aspects of the nurses role and relations with others - physicians, patients, administrators, other nurses - that give ethical problems in nursing their special focus. Among the issues addressed are deception, parentalism, confidentiality, conscientior refusal, nurse autonomy, compromise, and personal responsibility for institutional and public policy. The third edition has been enlarged with new cases and case discussions related to AIDS and an additional chapter on the expanding scope of nursing ethics as it addresses issues related to scarce resources, cost containment, justice, and the possibilities of health care rationing.
