For example, we have begun not to use restraints on older people for their safety and to think of other measures. We do this because restraining someone against his or her will could not be considered a universal law. deontology Health care providers triage rapidly, electing to use resources to provide the most care to the greatest number of people, as opposed to expending maximum resources on a single critically ill person who is unlikely to survive. utilitarianism why ethics in nursing?
