Book SynopsisThe object of the author in writing this volume is to offer to nurses, and especially to those women who desire to make monthly nursing a vocation, the instruction which they need for that purpose. The book is written under a firm conviction in the mind of the author that a work of this character is needed at the present timea work that combines some information to the monthly nurse in regard to her peculiar duties with considerable instruction in midwifery. He has learned during the forty-five years that he has practiced medicine in a small city and its vicinity, that mother and nurse are often combined in the same person. The important duty of nursing the sick is so generally performed by mothers, that they also, as a class, require some scientific knowledge to be acquired by means of plain, practical instruction. And, in fact, throughout our country, every mother is liable, in an emergency, to be called upon to fill the office of an accoucheur.

Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive introduction to the many ethical and legal issues that arise in the practice of nursing. Ethical analysis is supplemented with rigorous discussion of precedents from the American legal system as well as the requirements of professional codes operating at the national and state levels. Topics include informed consent, end-of-life treatment, impaired decisional capacity, privacy and confidentiality, and much more.Trade Review“Ethical and Legal Issues in Nursing is a wonderful resource for students of nursing ethics and law at all levels. The book strikes the perfect balance between theory and application—it is eminently practical without sacrificing the philosophical rigor characteristic of the best work in healthcare ethics. The authors cover the core topics in nursing ethics using an abundance of detailed, relevant, and challenging case-studies. Indeed, one would be hard-pressed to find a better use of case-studies in a nursing ethics text. The discussion of the law (both judicial decisions and statutes) is comprehensive and highly relevant. Especially important is the book’s focus on the difference between ethics and law, and discussion of how nurses ought to respond when ethics and law conflict. Ethical and Legal Issues in Nursing will surely become a primary textbook for nursing ethics students, as well as a valuable resource for practicing nurses.” — Eric Vogelstein, Ph.D., Associate Professor, School of Nursing and Department of Philosophy, Duquesne University“The authors have provided a valuable tool to help nursing students understand the role nurses have in caring for patients and the ethical decisions they face daily in practice.” — C. Denise Neill, PhD, RN, CNE, Director and Associate Professor, School of Nursing, Sam Houston State UniversityTable of Contents Chapter 1: Moral Decision-Making: Theory and Practice Chapter 2: Regulation of Nursing Chapter 3: Informed Consent Chapter 4: End of Life and the Refusal of Treatment Chapter 5: Privacy and Confidentiality Chapter 6: Impaired Decisional Capacity Chapter 7: Integrity and Advocacy

Book SynopsisA severe shortage of nurses is being experienced. Part of the problems is connected to the relentless practices of the so-called healthcare organisations including medical groups and hospitals which often insist on 16 hour days with little or no notice. Another part of the problem rests with doctors who continue to offput more and more medical decisions to nurses leading to patient neglect. Finally, the nurses themselves feel exploited and underpaid compared to the workloads and responsibilities being passed on them. This bibliography presents carefully selected review citations to the nursing literature which are then indexes by subject, title and author.

Book SynopsisTraining to be a nurse in the Swinging Sixties was demanding but great fun. In this sequel to "It Won't Hurt a Bit", it's time for Jane Yeadon to move on from her basic training to her exciting new life as a midwife. It's a whole new challenge with a new set of intriguing colleagues far from home as she heads from Scotland to Belfast for a brand new adventure. When she arrives at the Royal Maternity Hospital, Jane encounters the usual glacial matron overseeing the nurses and doing her best to keep them out of too much trouble, as well as fellow nurses English Cynthia, Timid Marie and Strongminded Margaret. As they're thrown in at the deep end, Jane discovers that this is life in the medical fast lane where there are very few straightforward births and every day is a steep learning curve. And as well as their daily work, the nurses get caught up in the local issues and find out that there is also much to learn about this divided community which is rapidly being overshadowed by the gathering Troubles which will soon rip the city apart.

Book SynopsisHospital systems throughout the developed world are undergoing waves of reform which seek to address multiple challenges of intensifying acuity, such as population ageing, technological advance, heightened expectations on the part of increasingly informed patients, the reduction of public spending deficits and the specialisation of staff, especially nurses, as well as the difficulty in establishing appropriate incentives for change and improved performance. Within such a context, the purpose of this book is to analyse the interaction between the nursing professions and hospital institutions in France and Japan, taking as its starting point the conviction that comparative analysis of empirical reality in each of these countries will provide new insights into the transformations currently taking place. To that end, the material in this study has been contributed by an international, interdisciplinary team of experts, combining economic, sociological, political and historical perspectives, which are brought to bear upon evidence from original research carried out in both countries. The findings reveal that the relationship between the nursing profession and hospital structures in Japan is characterised by the predominance of a domestic logic, rooted in dependence upon the institution and the promotion of supposedly feminine qualities, in sharp contrast with the French situation, where industrial and professional logics prevail, entailing specialisation, independent initiative and increasing workloads. From this perspective, the future development of the nursing profession in Japan is inextricably linked to the forms taken by the process of women''s emancipation, whereas in France, it is the evolution of hospital structures, of the position of nurses in the healthcare system and of the division of labour within the world of medicine which emerge as the determining factors. In order to highlight French and Japanese particularities for the Anglophone reader, the book also features numerous socio-historical points of comparison with developments in the United Kingdom.

It thus makes a sometimes dry, abstract topic come alive.' - Dorothy Adam, School of Nursing & Midwifery, Robert Gordon University, UK 'Very well written and clearly presented with relevant scenarios to aid understanding. One of the best books for nursing undergraduates on this subject that I have come across!' - Eleanor Jack, Lecturer in Mental Health Nursing, School of Health and Social Care, Bournemouth University, UK I really like this book as the content relates directly to practice, making the information appealing to practitioners in the various fields of healthcare.' - Carol Taylor, Programme Leade,r Department of Health Care Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK 'The scenarios and the practical application are a major strength of the text. Its interdisciplinary approach means that I would recommend this book to student nurses, paramedics, and assistant practitioners.' - Julie-Ann Hayes, Senior Lecturer in Law and Ethics, Liverpool John Moores University, UK 'Excellent book. Good application and facilitates learning.' - Tracey Barnfather, Division of Adult Nursing, University of Northampton, UK 'This is a must have for any first year student nurse.

I teach ethical principles with midwifery students and this text can be applied to midwifery. I particularly like the case study examples given as these can be so useful in providing material for discussion and debate around ethical principles. The application to practice is vital.' - Judith Davies, Institute of Health and Society, University of Worcester , UK 'An easy to read and understand book. Ideal as an introduction to professional issues.' - Chris Moat, Senior Lecturer in Paramedic Science, School of Nursing, Teesside University, UK 'Underpinning the Foundation Degree is a clear understanding of Legal & Ethical Issues in Health and Social Care.

A must for all health and social care students.' - Tina Duffy, Lecturer, School of Health and Social Care, North West Regional College, UK 'Because this text has a lot of scenarios for the reader to consider that have been developed or taken from real practice they resonate with students. The students on my module are practising health professionals from a variety of backgrounds and thus the range of scenarios enables all students to consider issues from the perspective of their own practice.' - Kevin Power, School of Nursing and Midwifery, De Montfort University, UK 'a good text for students to draw upon in their professional studies modules at all levels and for utilising once qualified as occupational therapists.' - Liz Cade, Senior Lecturer, Department of Health Studies, Glyndwr University, UK 'A very easy read and informative. Up to date and well referenced' - Carol-Anne Westwell, Nursing Lecturer, School of Healthcare Sciences, Bangor University, UKTable of ContentsIntroduction; A.Gallagher& S.Hodge Accountability; S.Ryle Informed Consent: Adults with Capacity; K.Acott & S.Searby Consent When Capacity is Compromised; A.Gallagher, S.Hodge& N.Pansari Truth Telling; A.Arber& C.Wade Confidentiality; P.Colliety& K.Horton Justice and Fairness; H.Allan Responding to Unprofessional Practice; A.Brown Promoting Professional Healthcare Practice; J.Leng& D.Macartney Conclusion; A.Gallagher& S.Hodge
