| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to capture an insight into the phenomenon of lying as part of the deception employed by a group of practising nurses from a variety of clinical settings. The importance of this research is that it adds to the limited knowledge of the range of situations in which nurses use deception. A case study research approach was utilised. The findings presented in this article emphasise the complexity of the subject within a dynamic social context. The article describes the nurses' intention, role, the nature of relationships and context and how institutional culture impacts on disclosure to clients. Additionally, it describes how nurses' distinguish lying from other deceptive practices. These findings have relevance for clinical practice and continuing applied ethics research. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 September 2019.
All research outputs
#8,535,684
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Nursing Studies
#1,307
of 2,586 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,233
of 32,086 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Nursing Studies
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,586 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.2. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 32,086 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
