Abstract

|
|
Nursing ethics is a discipline of applied ethics that inquires into not what morality nurses act on, but what ethical principles or moral rules nurses ought morally to comply with. Specially when nurses are faced with ethical dilemmas in clinical practices, how should they morally do? The answer to it depends on which relationship nurses have with physician. So I study on which ethical model of the nurse-physician relationship is desirable. Nurse should play an existential advocate in clinical practice in order to protect client`s right to medical care. For before nurses make a contract with physicians, they makes a vow to do well for client`s goods in obtaining a qualification to practice a nursing care. When a nurse would not accept a physician`s order, she can raise an objection to him. Ethical judgment as well as medical judgment is included in nursing care. In disagreeing with a physician in medical judgment, a nurse can take an
exception to him according to spectrum of urgency for the sake of client’s health. On the other hand, when she is dissonant with him in ethical judgment such as informed consent, she, as an existential advocate, should do her best for client`s goods. It is consistent with the nature of nursing.
