Abstract:
A patient with trauma presents a unique and/or complex challenge to the ethical foundation that guides nursing care. Patients with trauma, by the very nature of the suddenness of their injury, are unable to predetermine or express their wishes in the event of a catastrophic injury. The providers who care for patients with trauma do not have an established patient relationship to aid them in decision-making based on what they think the patient would wish or based on past conversations. Yet, they provide expert care and use ethical principles to direct their professional responsibility to these patients.

创伤患者对指导护理的伦理基础提出了独特和/或复杂的挑战。外伤患者,由于他们突然受伤的性质,在灾难性伤害的情况下无法预先确定或表达他们的愿望。护理创伤患者的提供者没有建立的患者关系来帮助他们根据他们认为患者希望或基于过去的对话做出决策。然而,他们提供专家护理,并使用道德原则将他们的专业责任指向这些患者。
