Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice 2nd Edition PDF Download Ebook. American Nurses Association articulates the essentials of nursing, its activities, and its accountabilities. This text establishes the scope, status, and prospect of nursing. It outlines the 17 standards as set forth by the American Nursing Association and encompasses the entirety of contemporary professional nursing practice.
Nursing administration, for all its diversity and dimensions, is the work of any RN engaged in leadership and oversight of services or staff across all practice settings. This expanded concept of the nurse administrator beyond nurse executive or nurse manager is central to this new edition. From such expanded recognition of who nurse administrators are, where they practice, and how they influence healthcare environments and organizations, comes a full update of the essential guide to the specialty.
Detailed discussion of the frameworks for nursing administrator practice and the numerous key elements of the nurse administrator role, and a deep grounding in the literature, distinguish this edition, as does a new view into the variety and dimensions of the nurse administrator's leadership and oversight. Viewing the levels of oversight or sphere of influence and authority leads to a more accurate classification than job titles, and usefully conveys the expanding range of this specialty.
Each standard is made more specific and usable by its set of measurement criteria, and completes the delineation of the perspectives and priorities of nursing administration. The book's summary discussion of its scope of practice-its characteristics, development and trends, education and training, its practice environments and settings, its practice roles, its ethical and conceptual bases-lends a broad context for understanding and using these standards.
