    AbstractThis article focuses on the application of the ethical principles of double effect versus consequentialism, autonomy, beneficence, utility, and justice. An obstetrical case study is presented and discussion of each ethical principle is used to resolve the conflict. The intents of the article are to promote ethical awareness; provide topic areas to facilitate ethical discussion; enhance nurses' knowledge of the discipline of ethics; and support the necessity of interdisciplinary ethics committees.
