----------
Both the increasing scientifical and technical abilities of the contemporary medicine, exerting a strong pressure on the professional and moral obligations of physicians, and the deep social-cultural changes that have characterized all western Countries in the last decades, require a constant and continually updated ethical reflection upon nursing. The recent issuing of the new Deontological Code of Nursing stimulates a careful reflection on the ethicaldeontological aspects of nursing. During the last decades, such aspects result strongly threatened by a prevailing attention to technical performance and productive efficiency, that risks to centre nursing only on the bureaucraticadministrative and economic aspects, according to a production-market point of view, more than on the aim of the profession and the values related to it. The Deontological Code, being expression of the profession that reflects upon its own purposes and values, becomes, therefore, the most suitable tool for guiding nurse to reflect upon the commitment that has assumed as professional towards the overall society. The new Code introduces numerous cues, that are important for the ethical practice of nurses. The present article intends to offer a ethical-deontological reading of the new Code, studying in depth the importance of the ethical reflection for humanized patient care.
