title: Resources for ethical decision making.
abstract: Nurses often encounter ethical dilemmas during the course of their practice and play a key role in the ethical decision-making process. This article identifies resources available to assist the nurse in making sound ethical decisions. Institution-based resources, such as institutional review boards and pastoral care, and unit-based resources, including nursing ethics rounds and peer support, are discussed.
