Key Concepts and Issues in Nursing Ethics

“This collection of essays reviews philosophical and theoretical ethics issues in the field of nursing. … Although written primarily for nursing students, the book can be used by nursing professionals at all levels. … This book explains the philosophical roots of nursing ethics in more depth than a typical nursing book. It is an excellent one-stop resource for nurses who want to see philosophy in action.” (Brandy M. Fox, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
