Ethics is at the heart of nursing practice and an understanding of it and what it means for nursing is essential from early in the career of any nurse. However, ethical concepts can be hard to grasp for those new to the subject. This book explains ethical ideas in easy to understand terms and relates ethics to day-to-day nursing situations to help readers apply principles to their practice. The book also challenges readers to consider their own values and where ethics fits into who they are and how they behave.

Key features include:

- an introductory guide to ethics to help students and those new to the subject understand how it applies to nursing

- the linking of each chapter to the latest NMC standards relating to ethical issues

- case studies and scenarios that show how to resolve real ethical dilemmas

- activities throughout to challenge readers to apply what they have learnt to their own practice.

Review:
This is a practical guide, which the reader can use within both the academic and workplace setting. [...] I found the book was extremely informative and all too often in other text books ethics can be a difficult subject to understand. [...] The author has the enviable ability to explain issues really well and ensures the reader is always engaged. The book assists the reader to understand and help them to deal with some complex aspect of ethical care in an accommodating way. The case studies are up to date and relevant for today’s nursing students. [...] This book needs to be on the shelf in the ward office for all staff to obtain. Author: Jane Brown, patient safety advisor, Worcester acute NHS Trust
