Review:

A mixture of case studies, activities, and exercises ensure that theories of decision-making are brought into real-world nursing situations, ensuring linking theory to practice. The case studies are particularly helpful as they detail common scenarios that student nurses and newly qualified nurse encounter in practice. . . I would recommend this book to student nurses who want to develop their decision making skills. (Phil Jevon RN BSc (Hons) PGCE, medical education skills manager; Nursing Times)
