Abstract:Ethical issues are ubiquitous in nursing, yet there is a dearth of scholarship in normative ethics and ethical inquiry in nursing. In a concern to motivate interest in normative ethics and inquiry to build ethical knowledge, this article highlights some of the conceptual resources of normative ethics after describing the different types of ethics, including normative ethics. These conceptual resources of normative ethics include moral theories and the method of wide reflective equilibrium.
