Offering comprehensive coverage of effective nursing
leadership and management, this 4th edition is thoroughly updated

and management issues of today and tomorrow.
It presents the foundations and strategies for effective nursing
management and leadership from role development, to the use of
information and technology, to political influences within the
industry. New to this edition:
New chapters on Translating
Research into Practice and Thriving for the Future emphasize the
importance of research in nursing, as well as the potential for
growth into leadership roles as a nurse.
The table of contents has been
reorganized to consolidate core concepts, resources, change, and
interpersonal and personal skills.
Focusing on building the complete nurse beyond actual
healthcare, this new edition features a full-color design and the
addition and reorganization of key chapters. Key features include:
Each chapter opens with The
Challenge, a contemporary nurse’s real-world concern related to
the chapter’s focus that encourages readers to think about what
they would do in a similar situation. Possible answers are
discussed in The Solution at the end of each chapter.
Every chapter contains numbered
exercises that provide experiential reinforcement of key leading
and managing skills and challenge students to think critically
about concepts in the text to apply them to real-life
situations.
Research and Literature
Perspective boxes summarize articles of interest and point out
their relevance and applicability to practice.
Theory Boxes highlight and
summarize pertinent theoretical concepts reinforcing key points
of chapter content as a quick reference for students.
Objectives articulate the

level or higher.
Questions to Consider stimulate

with the topics and issues discussed in the chapter.
The Application Activity section
is a built-in, perforated tool to help students self-assess and
