520 |a In this article, the author describes ethical decision-making in unique circumstances. A dichotomy exists between the dual roles of nurse and disaster manager in a wartime set ting. The circumstances of the situation had never been faced before and no precedents existed for the type of decisions being made. Clearly, professional codes of conduct existed along with international conventions with reference to war.The circumstances required the author to challenge the concepts of teleology and deon tology in a search for the most fitting answers to a unique problem. His aim was to try to create the greatest good out of an impossible situation.The author reflects on his actions in the light of ethical thinking and considers whether his decisions were right.
