Legal and Ethical Issues in Nursing from Yoder-Wise: Leading and Managing in Nursing (7th Edition) is a focused study and exam-preparation resource designed to help nursing students understand the legal responsibilities and ethical principles essential to professional nursing practice. Aligned with the widely used leadership and management textbook by Patricia Kelly Vana and Susan Sportsman, this material supports courses in nursing leadership, management, and professional practice. The content addresses key topics such as nurse accountability, standards of care, informed consent, confidentiality, patient rights, scope of practice, and professional liability. Ethical frameworks, decision-making models, and real-world clinical scenarios are emphasized to help students apply theory to practice in complex healthcare environments. Ideal for quizzes, exams, case-study analysis, and NCLEX-style preparation, this resource strengthens critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and legal awareness. It is especially useful for nursing students preparing for leadership roles or advanced clinical decision-making where legal and ethical considerations are central. This updated edition reflects current healthcare regulations and professional standards, making it a reliable reference for academic success and professional readiness.
