Abstract
The criteria nurses and patients believe should be used to allocate hearts for transplantation were explored and compared in a descriptive study. Although the majority of both groups agreed that patients with AIDS or who are HIV positive should not receive a transplant, the two groups agreed very little on the other criteria. This research has implications for clinical care and ethical decision making.
