Abstract "Decision-Making in Nursing explores a variety of decision-making approaches that combine with evidence and other ways of knowing to enable nurses to be reflective, critical, flexible, and comfortable with the many daily decisions they make. In today's complex health care arena, nurses considering patient, family, or community needs must align their decision-making with a multidimensional care environment. This book helps guide students and professionals through this process and shows them how current evidence, along with historical, legal, spiritual, and political factors affect their decision-making."--Jacket.
