Features: "Nursing Ethics" is a textbook written for undergraduate nursing students and clinical nurses in China. The book's strength lies in its practicality, which is reflected not only in the inclusion of 34 typical cases but also in the arrangement of its content. Instead of following the conventional framework of general ethics, the book organizes nursing ethics based on the implementation of nursing practices, aiming to better align with readers' work environments and facilitate a deeper understanding of nursing ethics issues. Cases without cited sources were provided by clinical nurses. Generally, a case relevant to the chapter or section is presented at the beginning to introduce the topic, and the analysis of the case is interwoven with the discussion of each chapter's content. This approach ensures the textbook remains engaging and provides a reference framework. Before studying each chapter, readers can first reflect on what the case aims to illustrate and how they would analyze it, then compare their thoughts with the book's analysis to see if they align and whether they offer any additional insights. Additionally, the book comes with a supplementary textbook that concisely summarizes the theoretical knowledge, provides supplementary readable materials, and reinforces the content through exercises and case analyses.
