The book as a pocket guide is a very comprehensive yet practical text that gives the reader enough information on [Consent] without going into too much detail, however, also gives the reader the ability to delve further thanks to the references list and further resources list.For a pocket guide, the text has just the right level of detail and examples as well as content to allow the reader to gain and understand the fundamentals, while allowing them to explore topics further if they desire...I really enjoyed this text and title. It is a very important topic that often causes people concern and worry as healthcare law and ethics can be a bit of a minefield. This was a much-needed and I am sure will be much-appreciated text in nursing and healthcare resources.
