内容概要

Nursing and the Law is the most established health law textbook in Australia. The only law text written specifically for nurses, the new 5th edition of Nursing and the Law is designed for nursing students studying law as part of their undergraduate or postgraduate nursing degree. The text focuses on the legal responsibilities of nurses in Australia, and provides students with a concise understanding of the application of basic legal principles to professional nursing practice. It is also a valuable resource for nurses practising in all specialisations and at all levels.    The text has been fully revised and updated, and includes discussion of current statutes and legislation for every state and territory. Mary Chiarella joins Patricia Staunton as co-author of the new edition, which retains many of the features that have kept this book at the forefront of nursing education.
