To provide the best level of care in end-of-life situations, turn to Evidence-Based Advance Directives: A Study Guide for Nurses. This practical and necessary training tool provides a concise overview of the legal, ethical, and cultural aspects of advance directives that affect nursing. Using case studies and role play activities, Evidence-Based Advance Directives will help nurses become more comfortable discussing advance directives with patients. We examine the cultural elements that influence advance directives to help nurses learn how to broach this difficult subject, mindful of the cultural influences and without personal bias. Evidence-Based Advance Directives provides basic information about advance directives and prepares nurses to advocate for patients in the event their advance directives are not being followed by hospital personnel or the patients' families.
