Abstract
"Nursing Leadership and Management for Patient Safety and Quality Care reflects the notion that all nurses at all levels and in all health-care settings are leaders and managers. The purpose of this book is to provide an evidence-based approach to nursing leadership and management, as well as practical applications to real-life situations that reflect today's dynamic health-care environment. By integrating content from the National Council of Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination (NCLEX) blueprint, the American Association of Colleges of Nurses (AACN) Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Practice, the American Nurses Association (ANA) foundational documents for nursing practice, Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN), the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) standards, and various quality and safety initiatives, the text introduces students to leadership and management theories, concepts, and principles. This book offers a comprehensive approach to preparing nursing students and nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to provide safe, quality, and effective nursing care. It presents evidence-based information and relevant topics for effective nursing leadership and management at various levels and settings"-- Provided by publisher.
