Features: "Applied Nursing Ethics" is a professional textbook and teaching material written for undergraduate and associate degree students in nursing majors and clinical nursing staff in China. The book's uniqueness lies in its applicability, not only demonstrated by the inclusion of 35 typical cases, but also by the arrangement of its content, which is not structured according to the conventional framework of general ethics, but organized based on the realities of nursing practices. This approach aims to better align with readers' work environments and facilitate their understanding of nursing ethics issues. In terms of layout, the book generally incorporates relevant cases at the beginning of each chapter or section to introduce the issues, and intersperses analyses of these cases while discussing the chapter content. This design is intended to make the book less dry and provide readers with a reference framework. Before studying each chapter, readers can use the cases to independently reflect on the issues they will address and their own analytical approaches, then compare their thoughts with the book's analysis to see if their reasoning aligns with the author's and whether they have added or omitted any insights.
