'Ethical concerns and dilemmas form some of the most challenging aspects of modern healthcare. This book will help health professionals to avoid these pitfalls by developing the skills required for ethical, transparent decision making. The book facilitates a sound understanding of ethical theories and their application.a The exercises and examples will enable students and qualified practitioners to develop confidence and competence in dealing with ethical issues, handling diverse opinions and deal with people with whom they may not agree. Written by a highly experienced nurse lecturer, this book is an important contribution to the preparation of future and current health professionals and a must buy for everyone's bookshelf.' -- Paula McGee, Professor of Nursing, Birmingham City University, UK.
