    • Summary:"The second edition of Accountability in Nursing and Midwifery addresses current issues and key concerns in accountability, focusing on accountability in the four main branches of nursing (adult, child, learning disabilities and mental health), as well as in midwifery, community nursing, and nursing management. In an increasingly litigous society, the ethical and legal implications of accountability are growing and it is important that nurses understand the implications for everyday practice."--Jacket.
