5 Star Doody’s Review
“This book remains a staple for undergraduate nursing students. Introducing nursing students to ethical theory and practice early in their careers and
exposing them to the complexities of ethical dilemmas help foster a lifelong interest in such issues and create morally mindful patient and nursing advocates.” Reviewer, Kathrine Bendtsen, MA, PhDc, Saint Louis University
