- Summary:
- "The publication's scope of practice addresses what is expected of all rheumatology registered nurses by specifying the who, what, where, when, why, and how of their practices. The detailed discussion of that scope of practice gives the context-the underlying assumptions, characteristics, environments and settings, education and training requirements, key issues and trends, and ethical and conceptual bases of the specialty-needed to understand and use the rheumatology nursing standards of practice. All rheumatology registered nurses are held accountable to these 16 standards, which provide a framework for evaluating outcomes, goals, and their specialty practice. The set of specific competencies accompanying each standard serves as evidence of minimal compliance with that standard. While this foundational volume is primarily for those directly involved with rheumatology nursing practice, education, and research, other nursing and allied healthcare providers, researchers, and scholars will find value in this content. In addition, it is a resource for employers, insurers, lawyers, regulators, policy makers, and stakeholders."--Provided by publisher
