Since ages, abortion has been a controversial and debatable topic in the country. Currently, the legal aspect of abortion has caused a stir in the masses.

What further complicates matters is how quickly it has spread. It will probably never truly be ...

(2015) estimated that nurses spend between 16% and 40% of their time in medication administration, a process that entails reviewing the medication administration record; retrieving, preparing, and administering the medication; monitoring the outcomes; and documenting the intervention (Rodriguez-Gonzalez, 2014). However, errors occur in around 20% of all instances of medication administration leading to patient harm and increased costs of care (Hayes, 2015).

While there are very compelling and emotional arguments for the legalization of abortion, the procedure itself must not be ethically advocated. ...
