 PRINCIPLE OF MORAL
DISCERNMENT

To make a conscientious ethical decision one must do the following:

Proceed on the basis of a fundamental commitment to God and to

human persons.
Exclude any that are contradictory to it.
Consider one’s own motives, contribute to or nullify the
effectiveness of the possible actions.
Select one by which one is most likely to fulfill that commitment and
act on it.

Nurses have their conscience associated with
feeling guilt when:
1. Nurses’ core beliefs conflict with social or
professional beliefs.
2. Nurses cannot fulfill their care obligations
to patients due to time constraints.
3. Nurses are placed in scenarios where they
feel they are working against their
conscience.
