"Learn how to think beyond the theoretical in any environment. Ethics & Issues in Contemporary Nursing, 2nd Edition examines the latest trends, principles, theories, and models in patient care to help you learn how to make ethically sound decisions in complex and often controversial situations. Written from a global perspective, examples throughout the text reflect current national and international issues inviting you to explore cases considering socio-cultural influences, personal values, and professional ethics. Historical examples demonstrate how to think critically while upholding moral and professional standards, as well as the law. Key topics throughout explore advocacy and rights, diversity, nurse burnout, mass casualty events, effects of the COVID pandemic, health equity, social media, violence in the workplace, medication error prevention, opioid and other substance use, HIPAA, and healthcare reform. In addition, this title contains supplemental case studies and review questions to further challenge and prepare you to make morally sound decisions in any healthcare setting."--Publisher's description
