    Author: Jenkins HM.
    Journal: J Community Health Nurs; 1989; 6(2):103-12. PubMed ID: 2723699.
    Abstract:
    This article deals with ethical leadership. Community health nurse (CHN) leaders are confronted with ethical problems in increasing numbers and complexity. To deal successfully with these dilemmas, nurse leaders must be aware of leadership qualities, know the ethical obligations of leaders, and use actions that produce the best decisions in tough financial times. The main purpose of the article is to present several helpful strategies for CHN leaders to use for ethical decision making. Types of ethical decisions that nurse leaders make are given. Six recommendations for action to be taken for ethical decisions in today's changing health-care climate are explored.
