Abstract

Ethical issues arise in the practice of infusing nursing, and when they do, the home care nurse can find guidance in the code of ethics. This article addresses the importance of the code of ethics and introduces a framework for decision-making to assist the home care nurse in determining a course of action in the face of ethical quandaries.
