Nursing Ethics and Professional Responsibility in Advanced Practice, Fourth Edition, remains the only comprehensive textbook available on the ethical issues faced by APNs giving front-line care. It is a critically important resource for students preparing for advanced practice and nursing leadership in both the US and around the world. The author, an APN and ethicist, demystifies the principles and language of healthcare ethics. Beginning from a foundation of nursing practice, she guides students in developing ethical decision-making skills they can apply to a range of circumstances, from everyday issues to complex dilemmas. Contributing authors explore the health effects of poverty and other issues related to social justice.
The Fourth Edition reflects recent changes in the healthcare environment, including biotechnological advances, sociological movements, and economic conditions. It explores how these changes impact and expand the role of the APN. It draws on updated case studies to address contemporary and emerging issues such as the management of social media and electronic medical records. It also covers international perspectives on the development and responsibilities of APNs.
