Abstract |
The author explores possible approaches to the ethical dilemma confronting nurses of critically ill premature infants with an uncertain or futile outcome despite aggressive neonatal intensive care. A case history illustrates the issues. The morality of nursing decisions based on deontological and utilitarian principles is examined, as are the concepts of beneficence and non-maleficence. A fusion of virtue ethics and the ethic of care is suggested as appropriate for ethical decision-making in the neonatal intensive care environment. |

Abstract |
This article explores the role of the registered nurse (RN) in the critical care environment. It presents the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as a unique environment, with a specific relationship to technology, and a history that mirrors scientific development. It explores the tensions for a caring profession with a distinct culture practising in a highly medicalised, acute environment, and affirms the value of quality human care. |
