title: Transplant nurses: concerns and opportunities.
abstract: Nurses caring for patients undergoing liver transplants were surveyed to identify specific needs and concerns. Previously identified issues in regard to orthotopic liver transplantation also were addressed: high mortality rates, time-consuming care, emotional factors and ethical issues. Nurses need to be represented on selection and ethics committees and to participate in clinical decisions.
