Nursing Ethics and Law

By Jacqulyn K. Hall

This text integrates law and ethics in nursing. Ideal ethical behaviour is described for specific nursing values, as well as the minimum legal behaviour that should result, and the reality if it differs. The author discusses separate nursing behaviour in relationships with patients and non-patients. The text's emphasis on legal principles allows for quick and easy understanding, thus avoiding the need for nurses to get bogged down in the fine details of the law.

Nursing Ethics and Law

This book is in a class by itself. It demonstrates clearly how ethics and law converge, and it does a great job of demystifying the often intimidating topic of legal issues. As a nurse and an attorney, I have searched a long time for a text that brings together ethical and legal principles rather than creating divisions. Thank you, Jacqulyn!

Concise, clear explanation of ethics and law for nurses

This book is well written, clear and concise. It provides information in an easy format that is difficult to find otherwise. Very worthwhile to any Nurse working in any clinical capacity. I highly recommend it as basic reading to any Nurse who is currently working in or starting in the clinical arena, as well as those who are pursuing the Medical-Legal Consulting specialties as well.
