What is nursing ethics?
This article tries to bring some clarity into the current confusion about the nature of nursing ethics. It distinguishes between the empirical, prescriptive and analytic dimensions of ethics. It then describes six contemporary understandings of the parameters and aims of ethics via six different approaches: moral education, management, professional conduct, bioethics, clinical ethics and political ethics.
