title: Nurse advocacy, ethics, and health care reform.
abstract: As health care reform decrees many changes in terms of providing care to the consumer, it is crucial that nurses retain their ethical responsibilities as patient advocates. This article reviews the concerns of ethical decision making and gives some direction in the re-evaluation of problems. The document, Nursing's Agenda for Health Care Reform, provides a framework for new action paradigms that enable nurses to participate in seeking ethically sound health care policies for their patients.
