Legal Aspects of Nursing 4/E
This book introduces nurses and other health care professionals to the law relating to the practice of nursing and includes specialist chapters on paediatrics, ITU and many other areas.
Ethics in Clinical Practice: An Inter-Professional Approach 1/E
An easy to understand text, which at the same time reflects contemporary health care practice, emphasising inter-professional care and cultural sensitivity to clients or patients. Discussing common ethical problems in all aspects of interdisciplinary clinical practice and presents both sides of any ethical issue.
Legal Aspects of Nursing introduces nurses and other health care professionals to the law. The fourth edition of this best-selling and highly respected text has been updated for changes in the law arising from new judgments and legislative provisions in the field over the last three years. It also fully incorporates changes in NHS structure and other major initiatives and issues in health care management. Legal Aspects of Nursing is written specifically for non-lawyers and is clear and jargon-free. Throughout the book, vivid situations based on everyday nursing practice are included in order to explore the legal consequences. This brings to life and emphasises to the reader the relevance and importance of the law to the health care professionals' daily work.
The scope of the book is comprehensive and includes such specialisms as work in intensive care, operating theatres, in the community, gynaecology and accident and emergency, which enables the more detailed areas of the law which arise in those departments to be discussed. Questions and answers are supplied at the end of each chapter to enable students to revise and test their knowledge. Appendices include the articles of the Human Rights Convention and details on the new Nursing and Midwifery Council. A free Lecturer’s Guide is available for the exclusive use of lecturers adopting the book for class teaching.
