Abstract:	This easy-to-read text introduces you to the issues and trends you're likely to encounter in any nursing practice setting. Each stand-alone chapter introduces and explores a specific topic and gives insightful discussions of issues such as the health care delivery system, professionalization in nursing, standards and scope of practice, socialization and nursing theories surrounding the profession, and political action facing nurses. Critical thinking questions and challenges guide you to apply chapter-relevant information to scenarios and envision a personal philosophy of nursing. Cultural Consideration Challenges help you develop cultural sensitivity and familiarize you with cultural influences. Updated content on topics such as the socialization of nursing, nursing activism, evidence-based practice, and nursing education degree programs, ensures that you have the most up-to-date and relevant information for your career. A variety of student activities for each chapter on the Evolve companion website help you apply topics presented in the text.
