    Nursing Ethics and Professional Responsibility in Advanced Practice, Fourth Edition, remains the only comprehensive textbook available on the ethical issues faced by APRNs providing front-line care. It introduces the foundations of professional responsibility and makes difficult philosophical and ethical concepts accessible to students so they can facilitate their own ethical decision-making.

    The updated Fourth Edition features expanded information on social justice, including advocacy for vulnerable populations and global issues, as well as new discussions on managing social media, electronic health records, and ethical issues specific to CRNAs and CNSs in the perioperative setting.

    • Provides students with a strong foundation in ethical decision-making, methods of problem analysis, and strategies for problem resolution.
    • Leadership content woven throughout addresses AACN Essentials revisions on the expectations of APRNs.
    • Explores the role of inter-professional ethics education for effective patient care, communication, and policies.
    • Case studies present everyday ethical issues faced by APRNs and outline their roles in resolving these dilemmas.
