Risks of Responsibility

COVID-19 The Nurse Response: Risks of Responsibility (June 12, 2020) Running time 10:31

Every day nurses face difficult decisions and ethical dilemmas. They know how to deal with suffering, are accustomed to participating in life and death decisions, and advocating for human rights. COVID-19 presented circumstances that no one was prepared for including weighing personal risk against an obligation to render care. In this episode, Liz Stokes, JD, MA, RN, Director of the American Nurses Association Center for Ethics and Human Rights provides insight into the ethical and moral dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEE YOU NOW gives listeners access to meaningful conversations with the nurses at the forefront of health care and innovation; those developing new devices, processes, protocols, and ways to treat for infection prevention, infant health, maternal mortality, palliative care, and so much more. This podcast was created in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson and the American Nurses Association.
