Breaching Safe Nursing Practice cover

This book addresses selected violations of professional nursing conduct and practices that take place in shadows or on the margins of clinical practice--incidents that represent "dark" or "gray" areas of nursing. Chapters identify threats to patient and nurse well-being that are antithetical to nurses' principles; sensitize nurses and other stakeholders to gray and dark sides of nursing through case examples; and pose evidence-based solutions for eliminating, mitigating, and addressing examples representing the gray or dark side of nursing. The book encourages organizations to promote a culture of ethical responsibility for nursing practices.

“This book is appropriate for students entering the nursing field as well as those who have been practicing for some years. The book is well organized, and each chapter can provoke thoughtful discussion. Contributors address challenging topics and suggest possible solutions and strategies that can support evidence-based practice to promote safe nursing care. Barriers to safe practice are also recognized. The content of the book is applicable to most health care settings, and offers evidence to support students' understanding of ethical clinical practice. ...recommended”—Choice
“Specific and practical…This is a solid book that can enhance knowledge of nursing ethics, leadership, and professional practice. It will be beneficial to nursing students as well as practicing nurses, leaders, and educators. The benefits of the book could be further enhanced by offering more contemporary references and examples in addition to the longstanding Supreme Court rulings and statutory laws.”—Doody
