The fifth edition of Ethcial Dilemmas & Nursing Practice emphasizes the ethics of caring, virtue ethics, and communitarian ethics, in addition to principle-based ethics. This new edition presents the pros and cons of current and classic issues that result in ethical dilemmas faced by nurses every day.
