In this discussion I examine briefly the origins of some key nursing values. I examine the historic and important place of virtues or human qualities as a framework for professional practice and their development into a system of ‘rules’ or duties suggested by codes of conduct. I give examples of how values change over time before noting the increasing importance of risk/benefit approaches in managing the ethics of patient care.
