Macmillan Education Elt Ethics, Power and Policy

Nurses today face new challenges as they are increasingly being given the opportunity to lead and to influence the operation of the health care system. This book offers a timely response to these developments by providing a clear and comprehensive discussion of the ethical issues affecting nurses. As well as focusing on individual patient care, this text will also apply ethical concepts to organisational, professional and policy issues that are directly relevant and applicable to nurses.
