Facilitator Guide for Ethical Case Studies for Advanced Practice Nurses

The facilitator guide for Ethical Case Studies for Advanced Practice Nurses provides questions to assist in facilitating discussion in the classroom. Prior to class, students can read the case study and be prepared to respond to each of the steps. The case studies are from real-life situations that require thoughtful critical analysis.

Ethical Case Studies for Advanced Practice Nurses improves APRNs’ ability to resolve ethical quandaries encountered in primary care, hospital-based, higher education, and administration beyond community settings. Through case studies examining various types of ethical conflicts, the authors empower APRNs and students with the knowledge and skills they need to handle even the most complex dilemmas in their practice. By applying a set of criteria and framework, this book guides APRNs to use critical thinking to make ethically sound decisions.

The facilitator guide will help students see the utility of using a framework and become more comfortable in working through the ethical dilemmas presented to come to a resolution. The steps to using the framework are clearly laid out in each chapter of the book after the case study is presented.
