Neonatal ethical decision making: where does the NNP fit in?
Abstract
Neonatal nurse practitioners are frequently confronted with ethical dilemmas in the NICU. This article reflects on the historical basis of ethical decision making and the issues some novice NNPs face today regarding their participation in the decision-making process. It examines various educational strategies that can be used to help NNPs to develop the skills they need to participate collaboratively in ethical decision making in the NICU. It concludes with recommendations for further research.
