Nursing 4th Edition
5th
Edition
Legal and ethical issues in nursing continue to increase in scope and importance as the profession struggles with complex technology, impacts of nursing shortages in all practice settings, and increasing demands of consumers. Thus, the need for relevant and current information remains critical. Guido's Legal and Ethical Issues in Nursing meets these needs. Completely revised and expanded in content, it includes new topic areas such as HIPAA, delegation and supervision of unlicensed personnel, environmental safety issues, disaster situations, impacts of the nursing shortage, medication errors, communication, mandatory overtime, nurse-patient ratios, and the medicinal use of marijuana. In addition it continues to detail content areas found in previous editions including federal law and historical material. This edition has been written for advanced professionals as well as new professionals, nursing students and nursing executives. This is the definitive sourcebook for basic legal and ethical knowledge for students and practicing nurses. It gives a thorough explanation of the law, its sources, doctrines, and court system, and combines legal and ethical topics to show how both concepts affect nursing practice in all clinical settings. It provides practical tips for improving patient care and reducing liability risks, and answers the legal questions most commonly asked by nurses.
