This is my favorite of the two ethics textbooks I have. Short and to the point chapters make for quick reading assignments. The end of chapter legal scenarios are nice also because they put the chapter knowledge into a practical setting.
The information presented is concise and easy to read. The concepts are relevant to the nursing profession, especially for issues of legal self-protection and rights as a nurse.
As far as textbooks I have been pulled into modern times for e-books, and this one was worth becoming a staple on my bookshelf. The author explained to a non-law person (me) and I found myself enjoying the plain talk expository and the many case examples. It is one of the better books chosen by professors for my degree
It helped me with the reading assignments I had & the convenience of the rental since I will never take this class again is absolutely phenomenal!!!
