Reviews for Nursing: Decision-Making Skills for Practice

A mixture of case studies, activities, and exercises ensure that theories of decision-making are brought into real-world nursing situations, ensuring linking theory to practice. The case studies are particularly helpful as they detail common scenarios that student nurses and newly qualified nurse encounter in practice. . .
