Overview

Understanding ethics and law in health care is an essential part of nurse and midwife professional standards, and a core component of qualifying programmes. Ethics, Law and Health Care teaches applied ethics and law in a way that illustrates the real world applications of these essential aspects of practice. It enables readers to not only recognise but also address legal and ethical issues that will arise in their professional practice.

The book approaches these issues using the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Codes of Ethics, the Codes of Professional Conduct and the four principles of biomedical ethics:
- Autonomy
- Non-maleficence
- Beneficence
- Justice

Filled with case studies, review questions and useful further reading, this book gives readers a solid understanding of ethics and law in health care, and a clear decision-making framework so they can take action confidently.

Fully updated to reflect new laws and codes of ethics, this new edition includes two new chapters on dispensing and prescribing medications and independent practice. It also includes more on rural practice, cultural safety and Indigenous views throughout and more clinical case scenarios.

Please note, this book is written specifically for the Australian market.
