Virtue ethics in health care teams; its time has come: Review of the nursing virtue ethics literature.

Aim: To summarize and evaluate the nursing virtue ethics literature, examine how virtue ethics has been applied to health care teams, offer a new framework to guide understanding and development of virtuous health care teams and offer recommendations to nurse leaders.

Background: With the unprecedented levels of incivility and turnover in the post-COVID-19 world, virtue ethics may provide an innovative approach for nursing leaders working to rebuild healthy practice environments.

Evaluation: An integrative review yielded articles from eight databases using PRISMA guidelines.

Nurses hourly titrate insulin infusion rates using protocols, most often in chart form, to guide practice. Despite the reported development of several intensive insulin protocols, information about the accuracy, practicality, ease of calculation, and preferences of critical care nurses have not been studied.
