Nurses today face new challenges as they are increasingly being given the opportunity to lead and to influence the operation of the health care system. This book offers a timely response to these developments by providing a clear and comprehensive discussion of the ethical issues affecting nurses. As well as focusing on individual patient care, this text will also apply ethical concepts to organisational, professional and policy issues that are directly relevant and applicable to nurses.

Beginning with an analysis of the general principles of ethics, the author proceeds to consider how those involved in community care might arrive at their own judgements of right and wrong in a variety of given situations. Topics include concepts of autonomy, responsibility and care.
