Kath Melia : Ethics for Nursing and Healthcare Practice before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it

would be worth my time, and all praised Ethics for Nursing and Healthcare Practice:

Everyday clinical practice is steeped in ethical considerations, but discussion of ethics is often removed from these

real-life situations. Kath M Melias new book works in the gap between theory and practice. The chapters tackle the

main theories which form the discussion on ethics, and include practical case examples, which bring these theories

into the clinical context. These classic and everyday cases challenge the reader to critically reflect on his/her own

experiences and outlook. The social, legal and professional regulation context is brought into the discussion

throughout, to equip students with the knowledge that they need to make clinical decisions. Topics covered include: -

Beauchamp and Childress four principles of bioethics - Rights - Personal and individual conscience - Moral

philosophy - The virtues/virtue ethics of the practitioner. This book will be essential reading for pre-registration

nursing students taking modules in ethics and law. It will also be a valuable text for postgraduates and qualified

nurses, and students of health who need to gain an appreciation of ethics. www.sagepub.co.uk/melia
