Review

We use this text and have done for the last two years. I don't recommend any other texts as this one covers both law and ethics. It covers them in an easy to engage with manner, and the focus is on safe and appropriate practice for nurses and midwives. * Matt Mason, Lecturer, School of Nursing, Midwifery & Paramedicine, University of the Sunshine Coast *This is written in a clear and concise style, is easy to read and is relevant to the Australian health care setting. The use of various examples of actual cases to illustrate points throughout the book is also a great help to the students and can also be used to stimulate discussion. * Ron Picard, Lecturer in Nursing, La Trobe Rural Health School *
