Today's nurses face a multitude of legal and ethical dilemmas that fall outside the scope of clinical and medical training. Practical and thought provoking, ETHICS & ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY NURSING, 4th Edition examines the latest trends, principles, theories, and models in patient care to help you make ethically sound decisions in complex and often controversial situations. Acknowledging an ever-expanding global society, compelling examples are presented from national and international headlines that invite readers to explore the cases in light of socio-cultural influences, personal values, and professional ethics. Historical examples demonstrate how to think critically through various problems while upholding moral and professional standards, as well as the law.

Bought this book-very costly at approx $130!!! It's not very long. It alludes to "contemporary" nursing but paging through it, it seemed to lack saliency. I could be wrong, as I did not read it. Instead I bought "Nursing Ethics in Everyday Practice," by Ulrich--much better book in my opinion and half the price.
I really liked reading this excellent book, but I must mark it down for the poor quality binding. I am very careful with my textbooks; however, the pages of this book started to come lose from the glue halfway through the semester. It was really frustrating. We have no other choice but to buy it if our professor assigns it, though, so I guess it doesn't make much difference. It's a shame I can't pass it on to someone else though. I hate to waste.
I used this book for a class I just completed. The book was well written and easy to use. The class was wonderful and the book was an asset to the class. This is one will be keeping in my library!
This text truly focuses on the ethical dilemmas as well as issues within nursing. It truly helps the individual understand the rationale and how society views and works.
I bought this book as a requisite for my MSN class so the book is what it is. However, this was my first time using and will continue to do so. Ordering was a breeze and delivery was fast. Thanks for a stress free encounter!Brie
Very Helpful in MSN Leadership track. Interesting book with many real issues and topics that we face as nurses. Easy Reading.
Excellent case studies in the book
Great book but for generalized research/reading, go with the less expensive previous edition. I rented it and sent it back when done. Would buy the less costly copy.
