<p>Moral distress occurs when an ethical wrong is perceived to be occurring, or has occurred, which a clinician feels powerless to change. We discuss a hypothetical clinical case to explore the experience of moral distress in nursing. How do you recognise moral distress, and, more importantly, what can you do about it? Host: Prof John Massie, Clinical Bioethics Centre, RCH. Guests: Ms Peisha Johnson, Clinical Nurse Specialist at RCH, and Prof Clare Delany, Clinical Bioethics Centre, RCH.</p>
