Example text

Each person has come from different states of life. Each has different motivations. Each has different ways of going about things and each will return to different conditions of life. Each has a unique set of abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. The way each has chosen to escape the wasteland is not an ethical aspect of the situation. Neither is the background from which each has come, nor the conditions of life to which they hope to return. Their state of health is not an ethical aspect and neither is their knowledge or lack of knowledge.

The other perspective is the subjective, that is, I know it just because I know it. These threaten the intelligibility and the sequentiality of interaction. They completely undermine causality, that is, control. They make ethical action a matter of purposeless ritual. They involve two implicit claims. The first, a claim of infallibility and the second, derived from the first, a rejection of any recourse to reason and analysis. Each perspective is an implicit admission of the decision maker’s incompetence.

The essential qualities of a situation are those qualities that can, properly, guide the nurse’s ethical actions. They are like landmarks on a trip, guiding the traveler to her destination. The ethical aspects of a situation should be isolated. One should be able to draw general, but tentative, conclusions that apply to very similar situations. No situation will be precisely the same but, without these general conclusions, a nurse has to face similar situations, one by one, without a basic understanding.
