Abstract:
"This classic work has been instrumental in establishing nursing ethics as a legitimate and discrete field of inquiry and practice, and covers the history and nature of bioethics and its relationship to nursing. Providing the framework for this third edition of Bioethics is a new and comprehensive definition of nursing ethics. This book will stimulate critical thinking and bring to life ethical issues and challenges that nurses will face in their careers."--BOOK JACKET.
