Even the best nurses occasionally commit errors of omission, which can have devastating effects on patient care and on nurses themselves.

Based on 10 years of extensive research, Errors of Omission provides an in-depth review of the correlation between missed nursing care -- standard, required nursing care that's left undone -- and adverse outcomes in both patient care and nursing staff retention. The new book offers a wide array of resources to help readers learn about the different aspects of missed nursing care: Key areas of missed nursing care; Consequences of not providing care; Methods of studying missed care; The important roles of leadership, management and teamwork in addressing and preventing missed nursing care. Errors of Omission is essential to everyone in the nursing profession.

Nursing students will gain a thorough understanding of the science and value of nursing care and the devastating effects of not providing it.
