This book examines major ethical issues in nursing practice. It
eschews the abstract approaches of bioethics and medical ethics,
and takes as its point of departure the difficulties nurses
experience practising within the confines of a biomedical model and
a hierarchical health care system. It breaks out of the rigid
categories of mainstream health care ethics (autonomy, beneficence,
quality of life, utilitarianism) and provides case studies,
experiences and challenging lines of thought for the new
professional nurse. The contributors examine the role of the nurse
in relation to themes such as informed consent, privacy and
dignity, and confidentiality. Nursing accountability is also
considered in relation to the contemporary Western health care
system as a whole. New and critical essays examine the nature of
professional codes, care, medical judgement, nursing research and
the law. Controversial issues, such as feeding those who cannot or
will not eat, the epidemiology of HIV and dilemmas of choice and
risk in the care of the elderly are tackled honestly and openly.
