Description
Controversial issues and questions of special concern are explored, for example: * When can a nurse 'blow the whistle' on poor standards of care? * When does a patient have the right to die? All authors work with, advise and lecture to nurses and have been widely published on legal and professional matters. Their combined experience is encapsulated in this essential and practical source of contemporary information.
