A final question

A well-considered text that explores the on-times complex issues underpinning contemporary nursing practise and the impact that this can have. The book is designed in such a way that it progresses naturally from one subject to another and in doing so builds knowledge and understanding sympathetically. The chapter structures encourage active engagement with the subject matter by way of question-and-answer, facilitating learning that is centred around the key issues at play. The language is mostly easy to follow and engaging, making it an extremely accessible text with which to work. The content is relevant, well-researched and carefully considered, supported by appropriate referencing and opportunities for further reading and instruction. While not drawing on case scenarios to aid the consolidation from theory to practise, the content does cite and utilise cases from Law. While a little text-heavy on times, its application to the profession is explored eloquently, leaving the reader confident in the literature and materials discussed.
