Essentials of Teaching and Learning in Nursing Ethics: Perspectives and Methods, 1e

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This book aims to fill a gap with an in-depth exploration of nursing ethics content from the western philosophical tradition and some of the methods used in teaching this content. It addresses cross-cultural issues in using specific ethics content. It also reveals the poverty of the present dualism model in nursing ethics and replace this with a more complex and more useful model that invites debate. Its scope is both wide and deep but that is needed to enrich the basis for teaching nursing ethics.

• Outlines and critiques all current ethical theories and considers their application to nursing practice
• Explores ethical issues in numerous cultures
• Includes case studies drawn from a range of countries
• Written by leading nurse educators and philosophers in the field
