Nine contributions define the role of advanced practical nurses in shaping public policy and describe the process of agenda setting, government response, policy implementation, and program evaluation. Originally published in 1999 by Aspen, the second edition discusses the impact of the nursing shortage on regulations, updates Internet addresses, and applies the Milstead model to needle exchange programs.
