PANEL PLENARY: Ethical Issues for a Globalized World

Description/Overview: A brief overview of ethical issues likely to achieve prominence as morbidity and mortality becomes increasingly related to personal deliberate behaviors. Poor health behaviors result in chronic conditions where the goal is management to maximize quality of life. As interventions targeting such conditions are largely psychosocial, relational ethics, and a concern for practice environments that enhance the virtues essential to ethical and therapeutic relations, will increasingly emerge in the global discourse on nursing ethics.
