Understanding ethics for nursing students

Ellis, Peter 1969- (Author).

Summary: From the start of the nursing program, it is essential that nursing students understand the significance of ethics and how it will impact decisions made on a daily basis. Understanding Ethics for Nursing Students explains ethical ideas, theories, and concepts in simple to understand terms and focuses on day-to-day nursing situations that apply principles to practice. The book challenges the reader to consider their own values and where ethics fits into who they are and how they behave.
