Ethical issues in publication.

Nurses usually publish to disseminate pertinent information and research findings. Their articles and textbooks promote quality patient care and sound professional practice. Nurses may also publish to meet requirements for academic promotion and professional advancement. Ethical issues play a part in any phase of writing for publication. Veracity, justice, beneficence, and nonmaleficence are four of the ethical principles that pertain to aspects of authorship, peer review, and research in publication.

Nurses' knowledge, attitudes about HIV, AIDS. A replication study.

The AIDS epidemic is now in its second decade and shows no sign of relenting. Unfortunately, however, the AORN study shows that perioperative nurses' knowledge regarding HIV and AIDS is not adequate to enable them to provide patient care while maintaining safe practices. Focused educational programs should be made available to perioperative nurses to help them apply universal precautions and OSHA standards to everyday practice. Perioperative nurses must become knowledgeable about the disease and sensitive to the needs of patients who have this illness. All nurses have a special obligation to care for all patients; education and management strategies that enable exploration of values, fears, and prejudices will help nurses understand their own beliefs and those of other individuals. Recommendations from this study may be viewed as a starting point for this perioperative education.

Ethics and the pediatric perioperative nurse (continuing education credit).

1. Nurses encounter a number of ethical issues specific to the pediatric patient; however, they participate in surgical procedures that are the result of decisions made elsewhere, and in which they have little or no input. Nurses may believe that decisions are based on the best interest of the decision makers, and not the best interest of the patient. 2. Ethical problems often occur when one asks oneself the question, "What should I do?" Ethical problems exist when available facts and information do not make it clear what must be done and uncertainty prevails about which action to choose. 3. By using a rational approach to the resolution of ethical dilemmas, decisions based on emotions and incomplete information can be avoided. The nurse must identify these issues, act on them, and evaluate results. The evaluation of actions will assist nurses in developing an understanding of ethical decision making and its application to practice issues on a regular basis.
