About this book

Ethical nursing practice is now a statutory requirement, necessitating understanding by practitioners and students. Consequently, Project 2000 gives it greater emphasis. This ideal textbook for both common foundation and branch programmes and extending to post-registration courses, rests on case studies distilled from the authors' research with 450 nurses in Britain and North America. Ethical principles, drawn out from the case studies in a vivid and assimilable style, are shown to relate to real- life conflicts, not first to abstract theory.
