title: Ethical dilemmas of nurse executives. Part 2.
abstract: A nationwide survey of nurse executives found that they experience ethical dilemmas about a wide range of topics, that resources used to resolve dilemmas are varied and diverse, and that dilemmas are experienced in many situations. The most important factors influencing decisions that have implications were the superiors of the nurse executives and the politics within the institution. In Part 1 (JONA, July/August 1994), the method, quantitative results, and conflict based on role were discussed. In this part, the author discusses the results from the open-ended questions and the implications.
