Does Nursing Ethics Fit in with Philosophy and Bioethics?

chapter
posted on 2023-05-22, 12:11 authored by Leila ToiviainenLeila Toiviainen
The aim of this investigation is to show that nurses play a unique role in health care, and that nursing ethics is therefore a distinct field of study. While nurses must obviously build upon the foundations laid by traditional moral philoso-phy, nursing ethics as a discipline evolves from it—as does, for example, envi-ronmental ethics—as a distinct field of applied ethics with its own conceptual framework.
