The first edition of this well-known text was highly praised as one of thefirst book available which considered the ethical dilemmas faced by nurses. Since its publication, an understanding of ethics has become a statutory requirement and this reflected in the emphasis it recieves in the project 2000 curriculum.
From reviews of the first edition:
"Ethics is not an easy subject to grasp but this author's insight and experience has produced a reassuring but stimulating introduction to the subject"
