ABSTRACT:
Neonatal nurses frequently encounter neonatal ethical issues related to provision of safe and quality care and communication in the NICU setup. This article discusses the hypothetical case of baby John diagnosed with neonatal sepsis. The ethical perspectives related to care and communication with the family members while their baby is receiving treatment in the NICU will be explored through the application of the QUAR framework.
