The book provides a critical overview of the current research literature regarding the topic of clinical decision making and judgement in nursing. The text helps individuals apply different techniques to practice, aiming for a 'non-academic' style which will be easy for readers to understand. Both the editors are researchers in the field of nurse decision making and have considerable experience teaching the subject on third level diploma/degree, masters level and post-registration nursing courses. This text is therefore unique in drawing together both the research and practical experience of implementing techniques in practice.First UK book
