Code Gray: Ethical Dilemmas in Nursing

US (1984): Documentary/Short

Nurses in a variety of care settings confront and attempt to deal with serious ethical dilemmas which affect their patients. Four sequences illustrate the principles of beneficence, autonomy, justice and fidelity. Case 1: hydroencephalic newborn. Case 2: use of restraints in a nursing home. Case 3: ICU-not enough beds, nurses or equipment for ideal care. Case 4: conflict between a dying patient and patient's family. (Univ. of Texas)
