in the nursing situation is supported by evidence-based literature. Describe the personal,
professional and organizational factors that are the causes of moral distress within the case
scenario from the perspective of the APN. Analyze current interventions and strategies to address
the identified issue of moral distress in the created nursing situation at the personal, professional
and organizational level. Differentiate moral distress from other common responses to ethical
situations encountered in practice (moral uncertainty, dilemma, conflict and residue).
