Abstract

Ethical dilemmas are aspects inherent to the human being that are always present throughout the life of a person. Nurses are subject in the unfolding of their professional careers to a whole series of ethical and moral dilemmas, situations which they must decide upon, where their training and principles play an essential role. Following the Process in Nursing Care, but focusing more
specifically on the nursing procedures commonly performed, we conduct a survey on the detection of such dilemmas in each of their phases, an aspect of outmost importance within the dynamics of independent actions.
