Themes and Perspectives in Nursing

"The second edition of this book, which addresses the theory and practice of nursing and its ethical framework, will continue to provide guidance and provoke debate. Well over half of the contributions are new or have been extensively revised. An important addition is a totally new section on ethics." "The new edition takes the first edition forward and considers the nursing profession interacting with other professional groups. It also reflects the rapid changes occurring in nursing education and practice in the context of the fresh demands implicit in the transfer of nursing to the higher education sector." "This stimulating, controversial and established curricula text will enable students in undergraduate and diploma level courses to develop their critical skills and is essential reading for Nursing Lecturers and Managers."--BOOK JACKET.
