People in the nursing profession are repeatedly confronted with moral challenges. In addition, it is important to integrate job-related ethical principles such as respect and care as fundamental pillars in everyday care and to promote quality of life even in times of crisis. In addition to basic knowledge, the authors provide application-oriented factual presentations and materials as a didactic suggestion to promote action maxims within nursing training in the form of knowledge and action skills and to contribute to responsible action. Worksheets and presentations are also available for download.
