Review

"This book presents the challenges that nurses face in today's healthcare arena. To date, there is no other contemporary issues book that uses the viewpoint/debate format. None cover the breadth of topics that this book does. This edition fills a gap in current nursing issues texts."
- Carole A. Kenner (University of Oklahoma College of Nursing), Doody Review Services
