Nursing Law for Irish Students

Nursing Law for Irish Students 2nd Edition 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 K. & 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 and accountability to the employer
Where legal concepts or terminologies are used, they are thoroughly and clearly explained in a ‘non-legal’ manner.
