Canadian Perspectives on Advanced Practice Nursing, Second Edition by Eric Staples,Roger Pilon,Ruth A. Hannon Pdf

Now in its second edition, Canadian Perspectives on Advanced Practice Nursing provides a comprehensive and uniquely Canadian review of the roles of clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, the two streams of advanced practice nursing (APN) in the country. With contributions from notable professionals and academics of the field, the text explores the history and evolution of APN in Canada, from its rural and remote outpost beginnings to the present, and proposes a vision for its future within the health care system.

Additionally, the contributors apply the Canadian Nurses Association’s pan-Canadian framework and role competencies to real clinical cases. Speciality roles, including geropsychiatry, ambulatory care, and neonatal, are also examined. New to this edition are chapters that focus on the unique challenges of developing APN roles in Quebec; the social determinants of health of Indigenous, inner-city, rural and remote, LGBT2SQ, and refugee and migrant populations in Canada; and other critical issues, such as performance assessment and global perspectives. Thoroughly updated, this second edition of Canadian Perspectives on Advanced Practice Nursing is a must-read for those in the nursing profession, especially students in nursing programs.

Evidence-based Care for Normal Labour and Birth by Denis Walsh Pdf

Evidence-based care is a well established principle in contemporary healthcare and a world wide health care movement. However, despite the emphasis on promoting evidence-based or effective care without the unnecessary use of technologies and drugs, intervention rates in childbirth are rising rapidly. Evidence-based Care for Normal Labour and Birth brings to light much of the evidence around what works best for normal birth which has, until now, remained largely hidden and ignored by maternity care professionals. Beginning with the decision about where to have a baby, through all the phases of labour to the immediate post-birth period, it systematically details research and other evidence sources that endorse a low intervention approach. The book: highlights where the evidence is compelling discusses its application where women question its relevance to them and where the practitioner's expertise leads them to challenge it gives background and context before discussing the research to date includes questions for reflection and practice recommendations generated from the evidence. Using research data, Evidence-based Care for Normal Labour and Birth critiques institutionalised, scientifically managed birth and endorses a more humane midwifery-led model. Packed with up-to-date and relevant information, this controversial book will help all students, practising midwives and doulas keep abreast of the evidence surrounding normal birth and ensure their practice takes full advantage of it.
