by Grant, Paula Dimeo Bsn
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780826133564 Springer Publishing Company

One of the most hotly discussed and debated areas of society today, health care law carries a host of legal and ethical complexities that nurses and providers must increasingly recognize and factor into their best decision making. This convenient and comprehensive reference, written by expert nurse attorneys, untangles the legal dilemmas often encountered in contemporary nursing practice, such as nursing malpractice/negligence and liability, risk management, corporate compliance, employment law, business law, and dispute resolution as they relate to health care law and nursing practice.

Written with the same no-nonsense, understandable language of the first edition, this revision continues to break down the often complex legalese of health care law and now includes two completely new chapters on the evolving roles of advanced practice nurses, and managing disasters and public health emergencies. Multiple case studies and legal analyses walk the reader through the varied scenarios nurse leaders will confront with staff and patient-related legal issues they will encounter on a regular basis.

NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION:

  • Revised to reflect multiple changes in health care law and updated information to the nursing/legal arena
  • A new chapter, "Advanced Practice Nursing," covers increasing responsibilities in primary care, dynamics of health care reform, and changing nursing roles
  • A new chapter, "Disasters and Public Health Emergencies," discusses major laws governing these events and hospital emergency operations plans

KEY FEATURES:

  • Serves as a comprehensive text for undergraduate and graduate programs
  • Includes Objectives, Conclusions and Trends, and Key Points in each chapter
  • Presents real-life cases and interactive features to reinforce learning
  • Addresses business topics and corporate law, not typically covered in similar texts

Nursing for Public Health: Promotion, Principles, and Practice
<em>Public health and the nursing role: contemporary principles and practice</em> is an essential resource which reflects the growing need for all nurses to maintain and improve health as well as treating illnesses. This book takes as its starting point that the aims of public health and health promotion are key components of the nursing role and daily nursing care. Writing in a clear and lively style, the authors provide both an academic and practical account of public health for all nursing practice. <p/>Beginning with the question 'what is the public health agenda and why does it matter?' the book examines and critiques core policies, theories, and models in healthcare. The role of the nurse in improving health is explored in the context of the scope of nursing practice and working with patients and interprofessional colleagues. Key nursing skills of assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating care are outlined before the authors demonstrate how nurses can make important interventions on health issues such as mental health, obesity, sexual health, smoking, alcohol and long term conditions. <p/>Written as a core undergraduate course book this text is key reading for all pre registration nursing students who need to understand what public health means to nursing and need the skills required for all nurses practicing in the 21st century. Students on post registration courses will find this to be a helpful introduction. <p/><strong>Online material </strong><br>DT Current web links and regular updates. <br>DT RSS feeds from organisations such as the NMC, DOH, NICE, UK Public Health Institute and more.<br>DT Checklists for patient assessments and interviews.<br>DT Web links to existing health promotion interventions on key clinical topics, which have been developed elsewhere. <br>DT Podcasts (not yet firm).
