Editorial Reviews

Review

"...this text is user friendly - an excellent example of a nursing theory in evolution. It will become a mainstay for both ethics and theory courses." -- Suzanne Edgett Collins, RN, MPH, JD, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Tampa

From the Publisher

Praise for an earlier edition: "The authors take the reader on a journey through complex material by focusing on the agreement between professional and patient within the framework of ethical standards and the contexts of situation and knowledge. Scenarios and case studies make the proposed dilemmas come alive and will stimulate discussion that will make practice more individualized. The humor sprinkled throughout the chapters effectively clarifies principles and brings lightness to a heavy subject. This should be read by both patients and healthcare professionals.
- Jeri A. Milstead, PhD, RN, CNAA, CNS Professor and Dean, School of Nursing, Medical College of Ohio

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Book for all in Healthcare. New features just wonderful!!, February 28, 2008
This review is from: Ethical Decision Making in Nursing and Health Care: The Symphonological Approach, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
Finally! A book that teaches students and practicing professionals how and why they make those day-to-day practice decisions. Quick. Easy. User Friendly! This book provides the reader with an easy to follow, contextually based ethical framework from which to practice-one based on the premise that we hold a social contract or agreement with our patients. It is a book about 'every day' decisions and how we conduct our practice, prevent burnout, and learn to function well for patients and the public in a complex health care system. The book features new, terrific case studies and their solutions, objectives, discussion questions and an extensive faculty guide, powerpoints, and test questions. The book is applicable at all levels of nursing education and is also excellent as an adjunct to courses or as a centerpiece of a stand-alone bioethics course. A must have for every health care practitioner and student! Anne B.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than a book!, March 24, 2004
By 
Once I started reading this exceptional book, I could not stop." Ethical Decision Making in Nursing and Health care: the symphonological approach" is much more than a book, it is a way of living and interacting with people. The book is rich with case studies and scenarios that stimulate discussion and critical thinking. The language used is friendly even to non native English speakers .This book is highly remarkable because it helps the reader to understand the ethical values of the American society. It emphasizes the professional/ patient agreement; it clarifies the nature of the ethical context and identifies the bioethical standards. I advise all nurses to read and discuss this book with their colleagues.

1.0 out of 5 stars review of the sample, January 30, 2012
I have not purchased this ebook. There are many formatting errors in the sample and the "book" is too expensive to waste time over these silly, sloppy mistakes...very distracting to the reading. I have a soft-bound copy of the second edition and will stick with that until there is eviidence that the kindle edition is improved. B. Spargo
