This new publication, edited by a leading authority on nursing ethics, is an unequalled collection of contributions from internationally recognized authors on different approaches to ethics. For the first time, these varying approaches are written about and applied to a nursing context. Consideration is given to eleven approaches and two methods, which gives insight into the varieties possible and guides the reader to ethical literacy and competence. This book is especially useful for teachers of ethics at both pre- and post-registration nursing, and for students at any level who need to become literate in ethical thinking and behaving.
