Nursing Ethics in Indian Context
Volume 1 — Between Protocol and Pulse: Everyday Ethics in Indian Nursing

Where Every Heartbeat Holds a Story—And Every Story Heals

In this powerful debut volume, Antonia Pushparaj brings to life the moral crossroads that Indian nurses navigate daily. Through 36 vivid case scenarios drawn from real-life experiences across India’s hospitals, clinics, and rural outposts, the book explores ethical dilemmas where compassion meets cultural complexity. From truth-telling in prenatal care to conflicts between family expectations and patient autonomy, each story is a window into the lived challenges of caregiving in a culturally pluralistic society. This book is a heartfelt guide and companion for nurses, educators, and healthcare leaders seeking to uphold dignity, integrity, and humanity in care.
