Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, 4th Edition, published by the American Nurses Association (ANA), is an essential foundational document for every nurse practicing in the United States. This authoritative resource answers the who, what, when, where, how, and why questions of nursing practice and provides the standards that all registered nurses are expected to competently perform, regardless of role, population, specialty, or setting.
Each standard is accompanied by detailed competencies for the three practice levels, representing the product of extensive thought work by many registered nurses across the profession. The fourth edition provides a revised and contemporary definition of nursing, an extensive discussion of respect, equity, inclusion, and social justice, and introduces the new ANA Professional Nursing Model alongside the revised Model Representing Regulation of Professional Nursing Practice.
This edition also offers an expanded discussion of the application of ethics in nursing and a complete picture of the dynamic and complex practice of nursing and its membership and evolving boundaries. It includes 18 national standards of practice and professional performance with accompanying competencies.
This premier professional resource informs and guides nurses in their vital work providing safe, quality, and competent care, and is a must-have reference for every registered nurse, nurse educator, and nursing student preparing for the NCLEX-RN and professional practice.
