Decision-Making in Nursing: Thoughtful Approaches for Practice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I absolutely LOVED this book! It is written in succinct, manageable chapters, and each one includes a case study that really illustrates the point in a cogent, meaningful way. I was lucky enough to be taking a course taught by one of the authors (Dr. Lewenson) who was also a fabulous teacher, but I would have read the book anyway. It taught me to think in the most circumspect manner possible when approaching patient needs, and evaluating my own contributions to their care. Great book! A+ :-)
