Build the knowledge you need to assume the leadership and management roles that you will be asked to fulfill and to confidently navigate the increasingly complex environments in which you will practice. Case studies and clinical examples show you how to apply theory to practice. You'll explore important topics like ethics and law in nursing management, delegation and team building, patient teaching and advocacy, and conflict resolution. A new chapter on nursing and informatics discusses the use of computers for charting, care planning, and NCLEX-PN® testing. And, an expanded emphasis on critical thinking and clinical reasoning, QSEN, Institute of Medicine initiatives, and evidence-based practice prepares you for the real world. As a bonus, you'll have access to Flash Cards, 'Find the Term,' and web links online at DavisPlus.
