The abortion debate, questions related to discontinuing feedings for clients and brain death are examples of legislative issues from the healthcare arena that have spurred public interest in ethical decision making. To operate as an advocate, nurses need to understand both the clinical and moral dimensions of the issues of patients and nurses caring for them. Prerequisite: NURS 128.
