Summary:

Caring Matters Most combines highly readable explanations of moral theory with real-life examples to guide nurses through the cultivation of five habits: trustworthiness, imagination, beauty, space, and presence. Practicing these habits will sustain nurses as they meet the challenges of the workplace, the threat of automation, and the incivilities that arise within the nursing community. The volume concludes with thought-provoking discussion questions and exercises designed to help nurses apply concepts in the classroom or in practice. Caring Matters Most is an ideal resource for academic or practicing nurses interested in healthcare ethics or philosophy. Book jacket.
