Abstract
Medical ethics is an old science. Some of its issues have historical precedence, and others are modern challenges, and have emerged with advances in technology. One of such historic but newly emerging challenges is "bi’natijeghi-e-pezeshki (futile treatment)", which is defined as the treatment that cannot achieve its goal. This term entered medical literature as "medical futility" in late 1980s. Based on this investigation, it can be concluded that this term should only be used when the desired outcome following medical procedure and the outcome sought by the medical team and patient/family (patient's health) is unlikely to be realized. There are various equivalents for this term in our country (Islamic Republic of Iran), including "bi’fayedegi-e-pezeshki (medical uselessness)", "bi’houdeghi (frivolity) in medicine", and even "inappropriate treatment". The present article aimed to find a suitable Persian equivalent for this concept. The use of interpretations such as "frivolity" or "uselessness" may cause misunderstanding between patient/family and the medical team, and can ruin the trust between patient/family and the medical team. Thus, the best alternative to this English term appears to be "bi’natijeghi-e-pezeshki (futile treatment)".

Abstract
Nursing ethics is one of the most basic aspects of nursing profession, which nurses are required to follow the principles receiving nursing care with confidence by patients. This study was conducted to determine the level of moral development of nurses and its contributing factors. This descriptive, analytic study was performed in 2017, study samples were 310 nurses working in educational hospitals of Ardabil University of Medical Sciences. Samples were selected by convenience method. The data was collected using a Kohlberg’s nursing dilemma test. The questionnaire included six scenarios: newborn with anomalies, forcing medication, adult's request to die, new nurse's orientation, medication error, and uninformed terminally ill adult. The data was analyzed by IBM SPSS 18 using descriptive and analytic tests. In this study, 51 nurses (16.45%) were in the pre-conventional level, 101 nurses (32.58%) in the conventional level, 132 nurses (42.58%) at the post-normal level and 26 nurses (8.38%) at the level of clinical considerations. Moral thinking mean score was 42.58 ± 5.6 and the mean score of the clinical considerations was 21.53 ± 4.3. The present study showed that the majority of nurses are in the post conventional and conventional level; but this is less than 50% of all nurses, which shows that the level of moral development of nurses is in the moderate level. It requires further investigation of the causes and related factors and more efforts for improving it.

Abstract
Regarding how to make decisions on the revelation of medical errors done by colleagues, investigation of physicians' points of view particularly those in educational settings could help the improvement of circumstances to which we encounter medical errors and thus respecting patient's rights. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted through a researcher-made questionnaire after performing face and content validaty and determination of internal and external reliability. The viewpoint of 40 attending physicians and 112 medical residents from different specialties about their inclination to disclose errors, the results of disclosure, the factors influencing on nondisclosure, and the factors decreasing medical errors were asked. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.21. Mean scores of 15.2±1.3 for attending and 12.56±2.05 for residents regarding the dimension of "inclination to disclose others' medical error"; and mean scores of 7.55±0.677 for attending and 9.09±2.01 for residents in terms of "inclination to NOT disclose" were differed significantly (p<0.001). Participants declared the head of medical department/ward as the best authority for managing and dealing with medical errors as the best approach for disclosure of the errors through attendance of the senior physician accompanied by the physician who has made the error. Urban general physicians, nurses, and first-year residents were reported with the most frequency of the errors. The data can be used for the promotion of the patient's rights and the perspective of the medical team when encountering errors done by a colleague, rightfully, and protectively. Building cultural, legal, and social contexts will be the mission of the educational-medical settings aimed at making possible a scientific and skillful error disclosure.
