Nursing Ethics: A Turning Point

Abstract
The authors contend that the methods used to prepare current practitioners for competent and confident participation in the resolution of complex ethical dilemmas are inadequate. They identify some of the forces affecting nursing ethics, and discuss a need for renewed evaluation of how nurses can be helped to fulfill their mandate of ethical practitioner. They also suggest strategies for nurses to contribute effectively to ethical decisions that affect their patients as well as the healthcare system within society.
