Abstract
Although there is research and much discussion regarding ethical issues related directly to patient care, rarely do we find discussion of ethical issues confronting the nurse executive. Using data from a nationwide survey, the author describes ethical issues nurse executives encounter in their work and identifies the facilitating and inhibiting factors that nurse executives perceive when making decisions that have ethical implications. Part 1 includes the quantitative data and role conflict; Part 2 (JONA September 1994) will present the qualitative data and implications.
