Philosophical And Theoretical Perspectives For Advanced Nursing Practice (Cody, Philosophical and Theoretical Perspectives for Advances Nursing Practice)

An excellent resource for graduate nursing students in master's and doctoral program in nursing, this text focuses on the knowledge base necessary to guide advanced nursing practice, including both theoretical and philosophical perspectives. Building upon the strong foundation provided by the editor of the first three editions, the late Janet W. Kenney, Philosophical and Theoretical Perspectives for Advanced Practice Nursing presents a carefully chosen sampling of the contemporary literature on philosophy and theory in nursing in a succinct and readable form. The Fourth Edition has been updated with 11 new chapters with greater emphasis on advanced practice in the new millennium, evidence, values, person-centered care, transformative practice, and global perspectives. The expertly written chapters are diverse in content and form to sustain interest and readability all offer ample opportunity for reflection and classroom dialogue to explore ideas about the knowledge that guides advanced nursing practice.
