As healthcare continues to evolve, advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) face increasingly complex ethical dilemmas in clinical settings, healthcare organizations, and academic institutions. To address this challenge, our book provides a comprehensive guide to help APRNs develop the knowledge and agility to identify and resolve ethical concerns.

Goals and Objectives

Our primary objectives are to:

• Offer an educational tool to enhance APRN students’ ability to identify ethical concerns and develop solutions
• Inform and expand current ethical pedagogy for APRN students, faculty, and practicing APRNs
• Provide classroom and clinical teaching through case studies to foster critical thinking, judgment, and the skills needed to resolve ethical dilemmas

By working through real-world case studies, APRNs can develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to navigate complex ethical dilemmas and deliver high-quality patient care.

The Importance of Ethics in Advanced Nursing Practice

As APRNs, applying ethical consideration to each decision can be a daunting task. However, certain circumstances require more thought and attention. By applying a framework, APRNs can develop a structured approach to working through ethical dilemmas, guiding them to make ethically sound decisions.

Our book provides a valuable resource for APRNs at all stages of their careers, offering a comprehensive guide to identifying and resolving ethical dilemmas. By prioritizing ethics in advanced nursing practice, we can promote better patient outcomes, uphold the highest standards of professionalism, and maintain the trust of our patients and communities.
