Abstract

This paper critically analyzes the proposed Code of Ethics for nurse-midwives that was published in the March/April 1986 issue of this journal by drawing upon the literatures of medical ethics, political economy, cognitive psychology, and the sociology of professions. Examples of practical ethical issues in nurse-midwifery are provided and an alternative Code of Ethics based on the ACNM Philosophy is offered.
