I initially rented this text for a required class then when I saw all the information it provided I purchased it; I know this textbook will be a helpful resource for years to come.
Good book. Very in depth reading regarding frequent issues dealt within the health care field.
It is an informative textbook for the subject of ethical management in a health care setting.
This book is good for learning about Ethics in Healthcare. It could be worded a little easier for those that are just reading about Ethics for the first time. Other than that it is a good book.
