"In this documentary film, nurses in a variety of care settings confront serious ethical dilemmas which affect their patients. The film's four sequences involve the ethical principles of beneficence, autonomy, justice and fidelity. In Case 1 (Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, Mass.), the Primary Nurse and her associates in the nursery face conflicts regarding the proper care of a hydranecephalic newborn. In Case 2 (Eastwood Pines Nursing Home, Gardner, Mass.), the Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses staffing a rural nursing home must weigh the ethical considerations involved in applying mechanical and chemical restraints against the wishes of their patients. Case 3 (University of California Medical Center, San Francisco, Calif.), takes place in a busy general intensive care unit, where the Charge Nurse and other health team members debate their reasons for choosing to give more or less nursing care to particular patients. In Case 4 (University of California Medical Center, San Francisco, Calif.), a nurse reflects on the difficulties of caring for a dying woman and on the conflict between her loyalties to the patient and the patient's family. None of the incidents are resolved; viewers are encouraged to debate the issues."

"This award-winning program documents four actual situations where nurses must balance the often contradictory views of patients, family members, and other staff about what is best for their patients: in the case of a newborn with profound and probably fatal birth defects, nurses must decide what level of care represents beneficence, or doing good for the child; the staff in a nursing home must decide between respect for a resident's autonomy and the need to restrain her to prevent injury; nurses in an intensive care unit make daily decisions about the allocation of bed space and nursing resources in accordance with the principle of justice; and a nurse caring for terminally ill patients faces a conflict between fidelity to her commitment to relieve suffering, and to the promises made to the patient's family. Code Gray offers no easy answers, but will trigger discussion among nurses, physicians, and health care consumers, about the realities of nursing in a technologically complex world. - VHS Container."@en
