Each chapter features vignettes using a nursing scenario to illustrate particular approaches in an actual practice setting. New to this edition is a chapter on using technology for decision-making. In addition, it has been revised to include the latest American Association of Colleges of Nursing Master's and Baccalaureate essentials, evidence to support the models used, and thoroughly updated references.

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+ :-)
