Reviews / Votes
"This text is authoritative and the best example of informing nurses in a complex practice area. Examples 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' -
