This landmark annual review has provided nearly three decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to nurses everywhere.

The purpose of this annual review is to critically examine the full gamut of literature on key topics in nursing practice, including nursing theory, care delivery, nursing education, and the professional aspects of nursing.

Previously edited by legendary leaders in the field of nursing, Joyce Fitzpatrick and Elizabeth Merwin, ARNR now continues its long tradition of professionalism with series editor Christine E. Kasper. ARNR has brought together internationally recognized experts in the fields of nursing, and continues to deliver the highest standards of content and authoritative reviews of research for students, researchers, and clinicians.

Past volumes of ARNR have addressed critical issues such as: Geriatrics Alcohol abuse Patient safety Rural nursing Tobacco use Nursing workforce issues Genetics Disasters and humanitarian assistance

This landmark annual review has provided three decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to the continued advancement of the nursing profession. This latest edition is a compilation of the most significant nursing research in genetics and genomics. Articles have been carefully selected by the editors, highly respected scholars and researchers in the field of genetics, to bring together current research that has particular relevance for translation into a clinical setting or expansion into other research areas. The review provides authoritative information of the highest caliber not only to researchers, but also to clinicians and undergraduate and graduate nursing students. Key Topics:

The current status of genomic molecular science Ethical, legal, and social issues in genomics Genetics of diseases and symptoms Genomics across the lifespan

The second edition of Lashley's Essentials of Clinical Genetics in Nursing Practice provides a comprehensive update to this classic text on genetics for students and nurses, with new information on the science, technology, and clinical application of genomics. The book has a practical, clinically-oriented approach, and is in line with educational core competencies, as defined by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. At the center of genetic testing is the ability to provide individualized patient care, based on personal genetics and dispositions. This includes tests for specific diseases; the text presents material in a lifespan approach, which is most similar to the way it will be utilized in the practice setting.

In the field of nursing, which schools of philosophical thought have the greatest influence? Does any one philosophical school dominate, or has nursing been shaped by the interplay of various philosophical tenets? In Search of Nursing Science provides an incisive analysis of modern theories currently influencing and challenging the field of nursing. Contributors explore and offer their insights on such diverse philosophical schools as empiricism, feminism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, critical theory, and poststructuralism. Each philosophic school is carefully explored and its relationship to - and influences on - the past, present, and future of nursing are considered. Addressing a variety of issues central to the advancement of nursing science, this expansive work will be a critical tool for professionals and academics alike. "This book provides an excellent introduction to very complex and diverse material . . . . Particularly valuable is the way various philosophical perspectives have been used in nursing research and practice. The book is highly recommended for nurse scholars and researchers and may be considered essential for doctoral-level theory courses." --Doody's Nursing Book Review Home Page "This book is unique in that its contributors--nurse-scientists, educators, and philosophers--present discussions of a variety of philosophical approaches that have influenced the evolution of nursing practice, education, and research . . . . it serves as an excellent resource for doctoral students in nursing." --Choice "Nursing has long needed a single sourcebook that sets forth the essence of several philosophic positions concerning the nature of its science. In Search of Nursing Science fulfills that need. Additionally, it provides a historical perspective that will be helpful to graduate students and other nursing scholars in determining which of an array of philosophic positions they prefer." --Rozella M. Schlotfeldt, Case Western Reserve University
