Preface
The previous editions of Nursing Ethics and Professional Responsibility in Advanced Practice continue to be very well received both in the United States and internationally. In the United States, the first edition received the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities and Alpha Sigma Nu honor society national book award in the category of Health Sciences. This fourth edition is co-edited by Pamela Grace and Melissa Uveges. It has been substantially revised to reflect the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, knowledge developments, emerging issues, and contemporary societal needs as informed by extant literature, colleagues, book reviewers, clinicians, and graduate students. The focused on incorporating international as well as national perspectives and initiatives in line with the evolution and expansion of advanced practice nursing roles internationally, and the proliferation of doctor of nursing practice (DNP) leadership focused programs in the United States.
We, and our guest authors, aimed to provide a consistent thread that relates advanced practice both to nursing practice and to the need for the provision of good health care via effective policies. This text is unique in its application to professional issues associated with advanced practice roles. Although this book is specifically directed to the education of advance practice nurses (APNs), much of the content is applicable to allied healthcare professionals who practice in expanded roles or who are in healthcare leadership positions. As in any work concerned with practice, supplementary reading materials may be needed to gain in-depth or up-to-the-minute knowledge of a specific problem. Additional readings are suggested throughout as appropriate. The content is accessible to anyone who is charged with the ethics education of APN students, including non-nurse philosophers or ethicists. A foundational assumption of the book is that APNs have augmented ethical responsibilities to patients, communities, and society that derive from the nature and purposes of APN and nursing leadership roles.
