When an older nurse complains to a younger nurse that
nurses just aren’t ethical anymore, which reply reflects the
best understanding of moral development?
a. “Behaving ethically develops gradually from childhood;
maybe my generation doesn’t value this enough to develop
an ethical code.”
b. “I don’t agree that nurses were more ethical in the past. It’s
a new age and the ethics are new!”

c. “Ethics is genetically determined . . . it’s like having blue or
brown eyes. Maybe we’re evolving out of the ethical sense
your generation had.”
d. “I agree! It’s impossible to be ethical when working in a
practice setting like this!”
