Caring matters most : the ethical significance of nursing / by Lazenby, Mark.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The moral character of nursing -- Trustworthiness -- Imagination -- Beauty -- Space -- Presence -- The challenge of unreasonable demands -- The threat of becoming automatons -- Being good to ourselves -- Creating a civil community -- Being grateful -- Toward a better world.Through an exploration of the ethical nature of nursing, Caring Matters Most asserts that the act of nursing itself embodies goodness.

The volume concludes with thought-provoking discussion questions and exercises designed to help nurses apply concepts in the classroom or in practice. Each chapter combines highly readable explanations of moral theory with real-life examples that can guide nurses in day-to-day practice. Caring Matters Most is an ideal resource for academic or practicing nurses interested in healthcare ethics or philosophy.
