AB The  ethical  and  moral  dimensions  of  health  and  medicine  pervade  all  aspects  of  clinical  care.  Providers  of  hospital  care  for  children  constantly  encounter  situations  in  which  ethical  considerations  are  vital,  ranging  from  the  routine  task  of  obtaining  parental  permission  for  medical  care  to  more  rare  quandaries  regarding  care  deemed  necessary  (yet  is  refused)  or  futile  (yet  is  requested).  Competence  in  handling  ethically  problematic  situations  can  be  enhanced  by  expanding  one’s  perspective  on  ethical  thinking,  knowing  what  institutional  resources  are  available  to  help  resolve  ethical  problems,  and  learning  how  to  approach  specific  common  problems.
