Abstract
Inconsistencies in individual nurses’ decisions about ethical situations and their justifications are examined in the light of changes due to contemporary feminism and professionalization of the nursing role. Empirical identification of ambiguities identified by practitioners is suggested as a component of professional education.Keywords
