Abstract:
Based on responses to vignettes and semistructured interviews with 27 nurses working in two clinical settings, data were gathered focused on nurses' ethical decision making in situations of informed consent. A content analysis of the interviews revealed that the most potent variables at play in these situations were institutional and philosophical influences. Aspects of these influences are discussed.
