Show authors biography
The present work deals with the ethical dilemma of the nursing professional when a patient does not accept a transfusion for religious reasons, as in the case of Jehovah's Witnesses. The priority of the nurse is to educate and care; Defining caring, as the ability to act respecting the thoughts of people, but not share. For this reason, the purpose is to design guidelines that enrich the ethical performance of the nursing professional and those in training, to provide comprehensive care to the patient, improving the quality of service in the institution.
