Rezensionen

This book provides the essential ethical, reflective approach that is needed in nursing, offering a framework which helps guide and develop an individual s own thoughts, and encouraging decision-making that is based on a sound ethical understanding. It strengthens the ability of nurses to develop the values that will underpin their work and enable them to offer ethical services and leadership in the years to come.
