Abstract

In Portugal there are few studies on the teaching of ethics in the area of health. Theories advertising the curriculum on Ethics, Deontology and Bioethics should be directly coordinated with the philosophers, or other experts, in which they are inspired. As one of the main purposes of education in preparing nursing students for a world marked by complex ethical dilemmas raised by scientific and technological activity, we propose on the one hand, ethics teaching should follow the guidelines outlined in this document Recommendations Relating to Teaching ethics Deontology in Nursing Course (published by Order of Nurses) and, on the other hand, the development of ethics associated with moral, so as to provide a balance between ethical principles and institutional rules, directly referring to deontology.
