About this book
Guide to Nursing's Social Policy Statement Understanding the Profession from Social Contract to Social Covenant 1st edition by Marsha D. M. Fowler examines the relationship between nursing as a profession and the society it serves. The book explains the idea of a social contract in nursing and shows how professional authority, ethical responsibility, public trust, and service obligations are connected to the role nurses hold within health care and society.
The 1st edition covers social contract theory, nursing as a profession, the elements of nursing's social contract, the common good, civic engagement, civic professionalism, professional accountability, and the ways professions can become weakened or restored. It also examines the relationship between Nursing's Social Policy Statement and the Code of Ethics for Nurses, the concept of nursing as a social covenant, and nursing's responsibilities in public and global health.
This book is especially useful for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Students, Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Students, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Students, Registered Nurses (RNs), Nurse Educators, Nursing Leadership Students, Nursing Ethics Students, Public Health Nursing Students, and professionals studying the social and ethical foundations of nursing. It is particularly relevant for courses in professional role development, nursing leadership, ethics, policy, research, and health care advocacy.
BSN, MSN, and DNP students, RNs, nurse educators, nursing leaders, ethics students, and public health professionals can use this edition to examine what society expects from nursing, what nursing owes in return, and how professional values shape advocacy, policy involvement, ethical practice, and public service. The 1st edition, 2015 is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, so you can begin studying immediately for nursing ethics coursework, leadership classes, policy discussions, professional role development, or continuing education.
