<br/><br/> Today's nurses face a multitude of legal and ethical dilemmas that fall outside the scope of clinical and medical training. This book examines the latest trends, principles, theories, and models in patient care to help one make ethically sound decisions in complex and often controversial situations. It emphasizes the importance of moral action in personal and professional situations, within the context of complexities created by science and technological advances, the variety of practice settings, and the diversity of patients in your care. -- Publisher description.
