Law and Ethics for the Health Care Professions illustrates the numerous legal and ethical issues that health care professionals face every day. The topics are derived from real-life experiences and dilemmas from a variety of health care practitioners. Through the use of Learning Outcomes, Key Terms, Ethics Issues, Chapter Reviews, Case Studies, Internet Activities, Court Cases, and Video Vignettes, students hear from health care practitioners in various locations throughout the United States as they encounter legal and ethical problems and situations. Students will practice critical thinking skills to decide how to resolve the real-life situations or theoretical scenarios, determine why the court made a particular ruling and decide how the issues are relevant to the health care profession they will practice.

I bought the text book assuming that the online access code would be included with it. Now, in order to comply with my class requirements, I have to pay an ADDITIONAL $55 IN ORDER TO HAVE ONLINE ACCESS. It would be very informative if this could be included in the description as to whether or not it included the ONLINE ACCESS CODE.. Not a very happy consumer right now.

The book arrived on time (a bit earlier than expected), in sturdy packaging. Unfortunately, the book was not as described. It was described as being in good condition with some highlighting. When it arrived, the highlighting was there as expected. There was also a lot of writing in the book - the previous owner answered all the questions on the first 3 chapters in pen. I would not have called it good condition, and I haven't yet made up my mind if I would buy from this seller again. At the moment, I'm leaning toward no.

The book came very quickly and was pristine. It was a really good deal to rent this book as we only needed it for a mini-mester.

This book would cost me more anywhere else that I've searched. I could not rent this book cheaper than I bought it for.

Have to have it for school. Lots of info easy to understand. Lots of study cases help to understand the law.

The book includes several examples of law cases. It is incredibly easy to read even with all the legal terminology. All vocabulary is explained on the side of the page. It is an excellent source to understand ethics in medicine, legal processes and how to prevent medical lawsuits.

The review questions don't have answer, which is not good for self learning

So a 5 star review means I love it but I mean do I really love a schoolbook? What I do love is that I was able to rent this book for my wife for a fifth of the price of purchasing a book from the student bookstore.
