New edition of this popular textbook, which presents up-to-date legislation and legal issues affecting nurses in Ireland.

New to this edition:

Practice standards and professional guidance issued by An Bord Altranais, the Department of Health and Children and the HSE for the Registered Nurse Prescriber
Up-to-date leading Irish and UK cases are used throughout the text, such as Fitzpatrick & Another v FK & Another [2008] IEHC 104, which deals with capacity to refuse medical treatment

Written in an accessible narrative style, it covers the four areas of accountability affecting all nurses:

Professional liability
Civil liability
Criminal liability
Accountability to the employer

Where legal concepts or terminologies are used, they are thoroughly and clearly explained in a ‘non-legal’ manner

Each chapter contains a concluding summary, useful websites and further reading for research purposes
