Increasing vulnerability of these persons results when they are unable to access care. Community-based nurses, particularly nurse practitioners (NPs), are well-positioned to respond to these calls for nursing. In the process of responding, a variety of ethical issues have been identified. A naturalistic inquiry of community-based NPs was conducted in order to enhance understanding of these issues. A Level of Ethical Issues Framework emerged with the patient-nurse practitioner covenant as the core ethical value that guides the NPs' care of vulnerable persons. By focusing on the covenant and by increasing our understanding about the needs of diverse communities, NPs and all nurses can develop appropriate responses to the widening disparities among vulnerable members of our communities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
