  This is a basic guide to nursing (as opposed to medical) ethics. It covers the subject at the level required by Project 2000 nurse students ('Professional, Ethical and Moral Issues' is a section of the Common Foundation Programme) and post-registration nurses studying at diploma level. It is written by a nurse ethicist, a moral philosopher and a theologian - case examples translate the theory of ethics into recognisable practice. The text has been extensively revised and more case examples included to take account of the requirements of Project 2000 students. The previous edition (1988) is extremely well known and respected among UK nurses.

  This book is designed to be a basic guide to the moral issues in nursing and the ethics of nursing care. It aims to identify and criticize various moral arguments and to widen horizons without asserting answers. The work should be of value to all nurses from student nurses to senior managers. The book is written by a multidisciplinary team - a philosopher, a nurse and a theologian - in order that as balanced a view as possible might be presented.
