Legal and Ethical Issues in Nursing

Fully updated, revised, and expanded, the new edition of Legal and Ethical Issues in Nursing reflects current and emerging influences of the law, legal issues, and  ethical issues on nursing practice. It addresses the expanding  autonomous roles of nurses at all levels of education and licensure, and  in all settings. It also reflects innovative health care delivery  models, as well as new federal and state laws, including the ACA. This  edition’s new ethical scenarios more realistically integrate ethics with  personal legal accountability, and encourage deeper reflection on  connections between law and ethics. Popular features from previous  editions are retained, including chapter previews, objectives, key  terms, application exercises, guidelines, chapter summaries, and “You Be  the Judge” features at the end of each chapter.
