Abstract

Ethical decision making in health care is a complex issue that requires nurses to critically think about situations. Active simulation through the use of role-play was used as a teaching strategy for education on ethics. Participants served in various roles in simulations that encouraged nurses to examine their thoughts and feelings and use ethical decision-making models.
