道德的确定性或不确定性，或两者都对护士面临的每一个道德决定产生影响。本文介绍了一个定性研究的道德确定性和不确定性所经历的长期护理护士谁面临的问题，扣留或撤回人工营养和水化的老年人在生命的最后阶段。道德的确定性和不确定性作为普遍的概念进行了分析，并通过研究参与者的话来支持分析。在道德上，某些参与者对管饲持消极态度，当面对正在接受管饲的老年人时，他们可能会采取一些行动。道德上不确定的参与者认为管饲是中性或良性的，可能不会采取任何行动，但要保持一个坚定的信念，即老人不应该遭受道德上的确定性和不确定性进行了比较和对比，并讨论了结果
Moral certait uncertainty, or both have an impact on every ethical decision confronted by the nurse. This article describes a qualitative study of the moral certainty and uncertainty experienced by long-term care nurses who are faced with the issue of withholding or withdrawing artificial nutrition and hydration from elders in the end stages of life. Moral certainty and uncertainty are analyzed as universal concepts, and the analysis is supported by the words of the study participants. Morally certain participants view tube feeding negatively and are likely to take some action when confronted with elders being tube-fed The most common action is to educate families about tube feeding. Morally uncertain participants see the tube feeding as neutral or benign and are likely to take no action, but to maintain a strong belief that the elder should not suffer Moral certainty and uncertainty are compared and contrasted and thefindings discussed
