This book is primarily aimed at healthcare professionals outside the United States. The authors have developed a holistic approach that explores: ethics in hospitals and community settings, interdisciplinary teamwork, unit and hospital management, nursing research, performance management and political ethics of nursing administration, restructuring and health care reform. The content has been significantly revised for this edition and significant new material has been added to reflect developments in theory and practice. It covers a wide range of ethical issues - much more than just 'clinical' dilemmas and decision-making skills, and focuses on ethical issues in nursing and case studies drawn from nursing practice, i.e. specific concerns of nurses and other frontline staff.
