Abstract
A descriptive study explored the experience, attitudes, and concerns of 75 nurses who gave direct care to anencephalic infants in a program of potential organ donors. One ethical issue for a majority of nurses was concern about whether the program allowed dignity for the life of the infant. Other concerns were whether the infants felt pain, and the infants' physiological responses.Entities:
