Health Policy and Advanced Practice Nursing - (Paperback)

About the Book

"The only policy text written specifically for APRN students, Health Policy and Advanced Practice Nursing, Fourth Edition delivers a sweeping examination of policy impact on the full implementation of the APRN role across all environments, including its effectiveness on specific patient populations. The expanded fourth edition-containing a variety of new chapters-includes expanded information on policy analysis, nursing roles, the impact of technology, and how nurses are dealing with the mental health and opioid crises. It provides practical knowledge on developing policy to advocate for vulnerable populations-bolstered by case examples-and discusses how interprofessional education has changed and will continue to alter health policy in the United States and internationally. Additionally, the text discusses the evolving influence of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the implications of current and future health policy changes as they affect APRN practice. New doctoral-level content adds to the book's relevance for DNP students"-- Provided by publisher.
