  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.
