This paper raises the questions: 'What do we expect from nursing ethics?' and 'Is the literature of nursing ethics any different from that of medical ethics?' It is suggested that rather than develop nursing ethics as a separate field writers in nursing ethics should take a lead in making the patient the central focus of health care ethics. The case is made for empirical work in health care ethics and it is suggested that a good way of setting about this is to ask practising nurses about the real ethical problems they encounter.
“我们对护理伦理有何期望？”以及“护理伦理文献与医学伦理文献有何不同？”有人认为，护理伦理领域的作者不应将护理伦理发展为一个独立的领域，而应率先将患者作为医疗保健伦理的核心关注点。文中阐述了医疗保健伦理实证研究的理由，并指出着手进行这项研究的一个好方法是询问执业护士他们所遇到的实际伦理问题。
