This paper discusses a hypothetical situation, taken from the author's book Nursing Ethics: a principle-based approach, in which a nurse feels pressured into working beyond his official span of duty. The nurse experiences a conflict between a number of obligations; to patients and clients, to his family and to himself. To which should he give greatest weight? Steven Edwards suggests the nurse's decision is a moral one, based on personal standards held by the nurse.
本文讨论了一种假设情境，取材于作者的《护理伦理：基于原则的方法》一书，情境中一名护士感到有压力要超出其法定工作时长继续工作。该护士在诸多义务之间经历了冲突：对患者和客户的义务、对其家庭的义务以及对自己的义务。他应该最看重哪一项呢？史蒂文·爱德华兹认为，护士的决定是基于其个人标准的道德决定。
