Deontology states one's actions are considered right or wrong according to the standards of laws. An example of deontology is a nurse has been abused and controlled in every way by her husband, but now he has become ill and needs the help of his wife for total care. She promises to take care of him, even though she sees this as a way out. Instead of her taking care of him, she neglects him as payback for all his abuse toward her over the years. Is she wrong for agreeing to take care of him when she knew her intentions were to get back at him? Should she be prosecuted by the law for negligence, when he was never prosecuted for all the abuse over the years? According to the deontology, she should be prosecuted because it is her professional duty
