Contemporary Professional Nursing by Joseph T. Catalano
Examining the forces that have shaped the nursing profession and those likely to do so in the future, this volume explores the evolution of nursing and considers the impact of reform, the legal system and politics today. Case studies and vignettes are used to examine the nurse's role in a changing work and social environment, and bioethical issues and ethical decision-making are discussed. There are chapter objectives, study questions at the end of each chapter, case situation boxes and a glossary.
