Ethical and Philosophical Aspects of Nursing Children and Young People “A crucially important text, which brings together many different philosophical aspects and ethical issues in children’s nursing practice.” From the foreword by Fiona Smith, Adviser in Children and Young People’s Nursing, Royal College of Nursing Nurses and healthcare professionals are constantly faced with ethical and philosophical dilemmas when working with children in everyday practice. Ethical and Philosophical Aspects of Nursing Children and Young People is a comprehensive text on the ethics and philosophy behind paediatric nursing, that reflects some of the contemporary issues encountered while working with children and young people. This important new book provides a philosophical and historical analysis of the subject, looking at a review of sociological and political theories concerning the nature of childhood, and providing a critical analysis of contemporary notions about childhood. It then goes on to look at moral theories and their application to paediatric nursing practice, ethical issues when caring for children of all ages, from infancy to adolescence. It looks at issues of disabled children, confidentiality, mental health issues, children’s rights, and pain management. With case studies and activities throughout, this book will enable students and newly qualified nurses both to understand philosophical concepts and issues but also to articulate their own reflections and observations on these subjects. Written by children’s nurses for children’s nurses. With contributions from internationally recognised experts in the field. Reflective scenarios, further reading, extensive referencing, case studies, guided questions, and resources throughout.
