Moral distress occurs when nurses make moral decisions they cannot implement. This article contains a true account of such a case. A nurse was present at the delivery of a premature infant who was allowed to expire without intervention. A moral distress equation is used as a framework for describing the nurse's experience and its effects on her and her patient care.
