Framed through a disciplinary lens, including national professional and academic standards, Nursing Ethics aims to close the identified gap, providing a foundation through which nursing ethics and contemporary sociopolitical issues can be evaluated and discussed. Including exemplars from nurses engaged practice, the gap between theory and practice is bridged.

While this book discusses contemporary moral and ethical issues in nursing within the context of the ANA's soon-to-be-released revised Code of Ethics, a secondary aim of advancing nursing disciplinary values, influence, education, and praxis are of equal importance and include:
* Influencing the discipline and the profession of nursing.
* Advancing an elevated form of nursing praxis that achieves nursing's covenant with humanity through the advancement of diversity, equity and the elimination of social determinants of health.
* Modeling nursing values, ethics and the advancement of sociopolitical change through nurse-driven exemplars.
* Provide tools and resources to promote nurse engagement in a sociopolitical-informed praxis.
