Comprehensive Test Bank for Yoder-Wise’s Leading and Managing in Canadian Nursing, 7th Edition. The verified ISBN associated with the 7th-edition test-bank listing is 9780323547345. The resource covers major nursing leadership and management concepts, including leading, managing and following, clinical safety, legal and ethical issues, cultural diversity and inclusion, personal leadership development, followership, self-management, communication and conflict, power and influence, healthcare organizations, organizational structures, care delivery strategies, staffing and scheduling, collective action and governance, decision-making, technology, delegation, and other essential leadership and management topics. It is designed to support nursing students with structured review, quiz preparation, examination practice, and reinforcement of Canadian nursing leadership and management concepts. Current Canadian Elsevier materials now identify a 3rd Canadian Edition of the title, so the 7th-edition designation should not be confused with the current Canadian textbook edition.
