Christian Ethics and Nursing Practice

Christian Ethics and Nursing Practice shows how the religious and moral teachings of the Christian Bible compare contrast and correlate with the ethical standards of modern nursing as stated in the Code of Ethics for Nurses. It describes four main strands of moral discourse in the Bible--law holiness wisdom and prophecy--and shows the relevance of those strands for contemporary bedside and advanced practice nursing. The work could serve as a textbook for courses in nursing ethics at Christian colleges and universities or as a guidebook for practicing nurses who have devoted their lives to caring for the sick the injured the elderly the disabled and the dying as a way of living out their commitment to Jesus Christ.
