The real-life case studies collected here, about 150 in all, shed light on how ethical theory is applied in actual nursing practice. Each case allows readers to develop their own approaches to resolving ethical conflict. The cases are grouped in sections on ethical issues in nursing, such as the just allocation of health resources, confidentiality, and the sanctity of human life, and special problem areas in nursing practice such as abortion and contraception, genetic engineering, psychiatry and the control of human behavior, experimentation on human beings, and the right to refuse treatment. This fourth edition offers more emphasis on methods for analyzing cases and contains two new chapters, one on moral integrity and moral distress, and one on showing respect for patients and others. There are many new case studies throughout, plus new critical thinking questions and research boxes and an annotated list of organizations and web resources on bioethics.
