This engagingly written text offers beginning nursing students comprehensive ideas and perspectives that are basic to the practice of contemporary nursing. Each chapter focuses on a foundational area of study and explores the central concepts, relevant issues, dilemmas, and debates. It presents a broad-range of professional issues, ranging from a brief history of nursing in the U.S., research and legal issues, to an introduction to nursing organizations and regulatory bodies. The concept of caring is examined, as is gender issues in nursing; and whether or not nursing is an art or a science. Text features include: beginning of chapter learning objectives and key words, and end of chapter reflective questions and recommended readings.
