Forty-eight nursing academics and practitioners, legal professionals, consultants, public policy makers, and independent scholars from the US, UK and Singapore contribute 29 chapters to a second edition text for master's-level students in advanced practice. Focusing on the nonclinical roles and responsibilities of the advanced practice nurse (APN), the text addresses the evolution of advanced practice; the practice environment; competency in advanced practice; and the ethical, legal, and business acumen. Updated and revised throughout to reflect changes since publication of the 2004 first edition, the second edition includes a new chapter on education for advanced practice, two bonus articles on certification and negotiation, and a bonus chapter on a companion website discussing measurement of APN performance.
