Semin Perioper Nurs. 1996 Apr;5(2):98-101.
Current advancements in medical science, such as the progress seen in the area of organ transplantation, brings with it many ethical dilemmas for which there are no precedents. Obtaining informed consent for cadaver organ donation requires perioperative nurses to confront the moral responsibility that they have to their patients, their patients' families, and to the nursing profession as a whole. The perioperative nurse must question his or her own moral and cultural beliefs, face their own fears of death, and confront societal misconceptions about brain death. This evolution is emotionally demanding and often stresses one's support systems. However, with self-discovery and education, it can also be very rewarding.
医学科学的当前进展，如器官移植领域所取得的进步，带来了许多没有先例的伦理困境。获得尸体器官捐赠的知情同意要求围手术期护士面对他们对患者、患者家属以及整个护理行业所负有的道德责任。围手术期护士必须审视自己的道德和文化信仰，直面自己对死亡的恐惧，并应对社会对脑死亡的误解。这种演变在情感上要求很高，往往会给一个人的支持系统带来压力。然而，通过自我发现和教育，它也可以非常有意义。
