Nurses are concerned with doing what is “right” when faced with the complexities of today's medical care system. Doing what is “right” is what ethics is all about. Ethics is a system of moral principles or the recognized rules of conduct. While an ethical system is a general one, specific activities can raise unique issues. Thus, we can talk about nursing ethics, medical ethics, legal ethics, etc. One often finds oneself in dilemmas for which there is no legal solution — that is, there is no clear, legally enforceable duty to do or refrain from doing something, and not everyone agrees or feels that there is a right and wrong solution.
