NEW APPROACH TO PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE, A
N GEYER (EDITOR)
Professional practice is the foundation of every interaction between nurse and patient. It both governs and guides the way the nurse behaves towards the patient and also grants the patient certain rights and responsibilities. This nurse-patient relationship has ethical as well as legal components; all of which are dealt with in this text. Nurses today face many challenges and A New Approach to Professional Practice provides sound advice on all relevant issues.
KEY FEATURES
• Explains the importance of the scope of practice so that the nurse understands the framework in which he or she must work
• Discusses all relevant legal aspects to explain the implications on daily practice
• Details the rights and responsibilities of the patient
• Explains the key concepts ‘advocacy’ and ‘duty to care’ to encourage the nurse
to maintain high standards of nursing care
• Provides information on communication and its relevance to privacy, listening
skills, record keeping and electronic information
• The ’new approach’ outlined in this book makes extensive use of case studies
drawn from real-life situations, designed to explain the theoretical concepts.
