Ethik in der Altenpflege

Nursing, care and companionship of the elderly inevitably have moral significance. Caregivers are repeatedly confronted with ethical questions for which they seek answers. Using the "activities of daily living" as an example, this book shows how important and helpful it is for all those involved in the care relationship when ethical aspects are taken into account in nursing actions. Ethical reflection helps in the search for good answers. The person in need of help and care, the nursing staff and the institution itself benefit from this. The book is particularly distinguished by the fact that practice, ethical-theoretical considerations and current knowledge of nursing science are integrated. In this form, it can be used for teaching and is equally useful for nursing staff from practice and nursing relatives. Carers find confirmation, suggestions and new perspectives for their daily practice, carers find help for challenging situations. For nurses in practice, students and teachers in health and nursing training, carers, medical professionals, philosophers and all those who want to work successfully in an interdisciplinary team.
