The advanced technology surrounding the nursing care of the acutely ill patient has precipitated many ethical issues. The first step in understanding how nurses respond to these ethical issues is to become familiar with their moral reasoning and use of ethical principles in making decisions. This research report describes the responses of critical care nurses to six vignettes of the Nursing Dilemma Test as a measure of their use of principled thinking to decide on actions in specific ethical situations. Nurses used principled thinking more often to respond to ethical situations than purely practical responses.
围绕急重症患者护理的先进技术引发了诸多伦理问题。理解护士如何应对这些伦理问题的第一步是熟悉他们在做决策时的道德推理和伦理原则的运用。本研究报告描述了重症护理护士对护理困境测试的六个案例的反应，以此作为衡量他们在特定伦理情境中运用原则性思维来决定行动的一种方式。与纯粹的实际反应相比，护士在应对伦理情境时更多地运用了原则性思维。
