Understanding ethics and law in health care is an essential part of nurse and midwife professional standards, and a core component of qualifying programmes. Ethics, Law and Health Care teaches applied ethics and law in a way that illustrates the real world applications of these essential aspects of practice. It enables readers to not only recognise but also address legal and ethical issues that will arise in their professional practice. The book approaches these issues using the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Codes of Ethics, the Codes of Professional Conduct and the four principles of biomedical ethics:- Autonomy- Non-maleficence- Beneficence - Justice.Filled with case studies, review questions and useful further reading, this book gives readers a solid understanding of ethics and law in health care, and a clear decision-making framework so they can take action confidently. Please note, this book is written specifically for the Australian market.New to this Edition:- A new chapter on health, law, ethics and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders- Illustrated with ‘real world’ applications, the bookensures students understand how core components of the nursing and midwifery curriculum are put in to practice- Copies of the Codes of Ethics and Professional Conduct for Nurses and Midwives are provided as appendixes for ease of reference

Recensioner i media

We use this text and have done for the last two years. I don’t recommend any other texts as this one covers both law and ethics. It covers them in an easy to engage with manner, and the focus is on safe and appropriate practice for nurses and midwives.
