Nursing gerontology is the scientific study of the nursing care of the elderly as individuals, family members and population groups. The author identifies and discusses the ethical issues which must be considered in relation to research in nursing gerontology: respect for persons, adequate knowledge base for decision-making, quality of life, quality of death and distribution of limited resources. Research priorities are then discussed.
