I am a student nurse studying in Newcastle, England. I asked for help a few weeks ago with and assignment about the ethics invloved in treating alcoholics. I now need a little help with part B of this assignment which is to do with the biological effects of alcohol abuse. I am focusing mainly on cirrhosis of the liver. My assignment must include an explanation of normal liver functions in detoxifying alcohol, altered physiology of the liver due to cirrhosis, and how this altered physiology effects the activities of living for the individual. I already have quite a bit covered but would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction so I know I'm on the right lines. Also I would be grateful if anyone could recommend any books, reports or web-sites that I may find helpful. Cheers.

I am a first year student nurse studying in Newcastle, England and am in the middle of attempting to do my second set of assignments. The one that I need a little help with is one that asks me to discuss the Ethical issues involved in alcohol abuse and it's treatment. The other part of the assignment is related to the health and physiological side of the same subject, and I more or less have that covered. It is just the ethics side that I am struggling with. I would be grateful if anyone could give me some tips and point me in the right direction. Also if anyone could reccommend any books that I may find helpful it would be much appreciated.
