Ethics and community nursing

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Iwan Dowie explores the critical role of ethics in community nursing, where nurses often make autonomous decisions in the home care of patients. Nurses are tasked with balancing individual patient rights with the broader needs of society, guided by ethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice.
