Law and Professional Issues in Nursing by Richard Griffith

Law and Professional Issues in Nursing by Richard Griffith

Nurses are more accountable than ever to the public, patients, their employers and the profession and it is vital that they have a clear understanding of the legal, ethical and professional dilemmas they will face in the course of their professional career. This book is an essential resource for student nurses as they begin to develop their knowledge and understanding of the requirements for safe practice in healthcare. This new edition includes increased coverage of protection of vulnerable adults and ethics and principled decision making.

"This text is authoritative and the best example of informing nurses in a complex practice areaExamples of case law, statutes and scenarios are invaluable in bringing each chapter alive. Brilliant!" (Lecturer, University of Wolverhampton.)

′The authors examine professional issues from a practical, legal and ethical perspective throughout this book. The lay out and spacing in each chapter along with the interspersed activities allows

the authors to disseminate complicated information and processes in an appealing manner. This enables ‘‘Law and professional issues in nursing” to make a potentially complex subject interesting and

accessible to student nurses′ -
