ABSTRACT:
Ethical rules are regularly composed for grown-up patients and, therefore, they might be hard to apply to kids and families. Uncommon contemplations are expected to comprehend the youngster's ability to settle on treatment choices, clashing legitimate and moral measures associated with the treatment of kids, contrasting necessities of kids and their relatives, and the extraordinary vulnerabilities of children1.The nurse should follow the ethical principles and should have good knowledge regarding legal safeguards of nursing. The paediatric nurse must be aware of the different rights of the children as well as the acts related to the child welfare so that she/he can provide quality care to her paediatric patients. The nurse should be aware of the ethical considerations of children as well as the dying children
