In this update, 46 contributed chapters—of which 15 are new—comprehensively encompass relevant legal theory; the evolution, standards, certification, and practice of the profession; specific practice areas; LNC roles and responsibilities, including serving as an expert witness; mediation, settlement, and trial options and processes of dispute resolution; and business practices and ethics. Includes chapter test questions with an answer key, and a glossary of nursing, business, legal, and computer terms. Iyer is a New Jersey- based LNC. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
