Abstract
Non-consensual care, or care done to a pregnant woman that includes treatments, hospitalization or even surgery without her consent, raises legal and ethical concerns. When do maternal claims not outweigh third party demands on behalf of the fetus? The American Nurses Association’s (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses was developed to guide nurses in responsible, quality care consistent with the ethics inherent in the profession.
