This book addresses the many ethical issues and extraordinary risks
that nurses and others are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic,
which creates physical, emotional, and economic burdens, affecting
nurses' overall health and well-being. Nurses are essential
front-line clinicians across all health care settings and in every
nation. The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel SARs-CoV-2 virus
has affected children, adults, and communities within and across
all societies. Nurses, too, have contracted the virus and died from
the disease. They have also seen their colleagues, family members,
and friends hospitalized or in intensive care units struggling to
survive. Nursing's professionalism and disciplinary resolve to care
for patients and families amidst confusion, misinformation, and
shifting guidelines has been called "heroic" by the public. How
much risk should nurses be expected to accept during a pandemic?
How do nurses help patients and families find comfort and dignity
at the end-of-life? How do we help nurses who are suffering from
moral distress and mental health concerns from what they have seen,
been asked to do, or are unable to provide? And, how does society
move forward from a pandemic that has challenged our basic ethical
principles of justice and what is "fair, good and right" in caring
for those who need care, including the most vulnerable and nurses
themselves? This book addresses these and other ethical concerns
that nurses are facing in their day-to-day clinical practice;
experiences shared with patients, families, and colleagues.
Although this book was written while the pandemic was still raging
across the United States and globally, the events needed to be told
as they were unfolding. This book helps us to learn from both the
successes and failures that are affecting so many across the globe,
including those on whom the public relies on to provide quality,
compassionate, and expert care when they are sick: nurses.
