<p>In paediatric care, nurses are faced with everyday ethical decisions that impact them and their patients. Whether it’s resolving conflicting views about treatment, disclosing diagnostic results to parents, or determining care priorities, all test personal and professional values. An understanding of ethics can help navigate these often murky waters. We explore some common scenarios and reflect on the barriers preventing nurses from raising ethical issues.
