Print Version - HIV/AIDS Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice

• ISBN: 9781558102361
• PUB# 9781558102361

The practice of HIV/AIDS nursing encompasses a continuum of care from prevention through diagnosis and treatment to end-of-life/palliative care of the person living with HIV/AIDS. This book articulates the essentials of this nursing specialty, its activities and accountabilities at all practice levels and settings.

The standards themselves - six for nursing practice and nine for professional performance - are those by which all HIV/AIDS nurses practice. These, and each standard's set of measurement criteria, reflect the values and priorities of this practice specialty. The book's detailed discussion of the scope of practice - it's characteristics, development, education and training, practice environments and settings, special populations and its general and specialized practice roles lends a broad context for better understanding using these standards.
