Description
Every day, registered nurses are required to act and make decisions based on their moral and legal obligations.
They must build professional, culturally safe relationships with patients, understand patient rights and the requirements of consent, and prevent and manage clinical mistakes in order to avoid negligence and abuse of power.
Now in its fifth edition, Ethics and Law for Australian Nurses guides students through foundational concepts such as personhood, autonomy, trust, consent and vulnerability, and considers a nurse's responsibilities in relation to voluntary assisted dying, abortions and advanced care directives.
It explains the Australian legal system and how it relates to nursing practice.
This edition discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on elderly Australians, as well as on injury and negligence claims.
It includes updated discussions on guardianship, assisted dying, abortion and 'not for resuscitation' orders.
