Practice Nursing: An Integrative Approach, 3rd Edition Hardcover, 864 pages
This third edition is a welcome and expanded revision. The editors explore advanced nursing practice, its definition, competencies, roles, and issues facing APNs. The book is well written, comprehensive, and grounded in research. There are over 39 appropriately credentialed contributors. The liberal use of tables, figures, and algorithms enhance this text-dense volume. The stated goal is to propose a clear understanding of advanced nursing practice in both specialty and primary care roles and to ensure the APN's ability to proactively manage the practice environment. As the title suggests, this integrative text is built around a core definition and conceptual model of advanced nursing practice. "Six essential features are described: expert guidance and coaching of patients, families, and other health care providers; consultation; research skills, including utilization, evaluation, and conduct; clinical and professional leadership, including competence as a change agent; collaboration; and ethical decision-making skills. Though there is a clear bias toward the importance of clinical practice, each of these areas is developed separately in detail. In addition to reviews of the historical aspects of advanced nursing practice, individual chapter contributors address the roles of CNS, primary care NP, acute care NP, the blended CNS/NP role, certified nurse-midwife, certified registered nurse anesthetist, and the advanced practice nurse case manager...." -- Sharon J. Olsen, MS, NP, AOCN, Johns Hopkins University Advanced Practice presents a comprehensive and scholarly presentation of the roles and issues related to advanced practice nursing. This unique text synthesizes concepts, practical strategies, and knowledge of current environmental forces with the goal of helping advanced practice nurses improve patient care and legitimize their roles in a changing health care system. The authors both define and describe all the competencies that make up advanced nursing practice including direct clinical practice, consultation, coaching, guidance, research, leadership, collaboration, and ethical decision-making.
