DESCRIPTION
Professional Issues in Nursing: Challenges &Opportunities
features contemporary
and enduring issues in professional nursing. Designed to be used in both
pre- and post-licensure nursing programs, the text has an undiluted focus
on professional issues in nursing and includes many timely workplace issues,
workforce issues, legal and ethical issues, nursing education, and issues related
to professional power and furthering the nursing profession. Unlike other “issues and trends” textbooks that
cover everything from nursing research to nursing theory, this text is devoted to the “hot topics” of the time
which allows students to begin to prepare for the realities of nursing practice.

DESCRIPTION
Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care
helps nursing students transform their
thinking so they develop into culturally competent nurses capable of safe,
thoughtful, and ethical care of individuals, families, groups, and communities
of diverse backgrounds.
Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care
takes a life span
approach to describe cultural variations in lifestyle, habits, beliefs, and life
process; and in doing so, provides a framework that will improve health and
nursing care to minority, underrepresented, disenfranchised, and marginalized populations. Rather than just
covering specific cultures and expected behaviors/beliefs of that culture, the authors provide students the
tools they will need as nurses to effectively perform cultural assessments and incorporate their findings into
their interventions. With more culture specific examples in this edition, the text offers the knowledge needed
to provide culturally competent and contextually meaningful care for all clients. Fully updated in its seventh
edition, this unique resource creates an interdisciplinary knowledge foundation reflecting the cultural changes
in the clinical nursing environment.
