Abstract
Based on responses to vignettes and semistructured interviews with 27 nurses working in two clinical settings, data were gathered focused on nurses' ethical decision making in situations of informed consent. A content analysis of the interviews revealed that the most potent variables at play in these situations were institutional and philosophical influences. Aspects of these influences are discussed.Keywords
