Publisher's Synopsis
This new edition reflects the ongoing debate on bioethical issues in nursing and health care. New material has been added, including sections on transcultural ethics in nursing practice and on homophobia and the moral entitlements of AIDS and HIV-positive patients. Most importantly, Bioethics: A Nursing Perspective will help nurses to find the inner strength and courage to contribute to the debate, as their experience uniquely entitles them to do. It is required reading for all nurses.
