"This book fills a glaring void in the literature on patient self-management (PSM) by providing a clear ethical practice framework for PSM regimens based on current best practices. It addresses such questions as: What are appropriate standards of safety in PSM? How does one reach a good prognosis about whether or not patients will be able to practice PSM? The text discusses PSM of the major chronic diseases along with best practice intervention strategies. It maps out the implementation of the PSM framework for both patient and institution, supported by numerous case examples. Also covered are PSM challenges to Advanced Practice Nursing, three ethically valid assessment tools, and health policy concerns. The text is designed for course adoption and as a resource at MSN, DNP, and PhD levels."
