Book Description

ISBN-10: 0632036176 | ISBN-13: 978-0632036172 | Publication Date: May 10, 1995 | Edition: 1

It's not always easy to differentiate between what the law requires and what is "right". This book is unique in that it addresses both law and ethics. With contributions from leading nurses, lawyers and ethicists, Nursing Law and Ethics provides an innovative and challenging approach to key legal and ethical issues in nursing, midwifery and health visiting. The interface between law, ethics and nursing is fully explored with the first part of the book discussing the legal, ethical and professional dimensions of nursing and patient complaints in healthcare provision. The chapters in Part 2 contain both legal and ethical perspectives on more specialist topics, including negligence, consent, resource allocation, mental health nursing, the critically ill patient and research.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is surely unique, for it not only combines the somewhat dry topics of nursing law and nursing ethics into one text, but it manages to do so in a style which is both interesting and challenging"

"I am sure this book will become a valuable resource for nurses at every level, and a core text in undergraduate nursing programmes"Health Visitor
