Summary

Be prepared for the complexities of healthcare practice today!

Meet the legal and ethical challenges you will face as a healthcare professional in ambulatory outpatient and clinical settings. The 8th Edition of this popular text guides you through legal concepts and the law, important ethical issues, and the emerging area of bioethics to prepare you to treat your patients with understanding, sensitivity, and compassion.

Often complex concepts are brought to life with vignettes, case studies and other real-world examples of how legal theories, the law, and ethics apply to day-to-day practice in today’s rapidly evolving healthcare system. Clearly written and easy to read, it provides the strong ethical and legal foundation that today’s healthcare professionals need to better serve their clients.
