Collins-Bride & Saxe's Clinical Guidelines for Advanced Practice Nursing, Fourth Edition is an accessible and practical reference designed to support nurses and students in daily clinical decision making. Written by an interdisciplinary team of APRNs, it emphasizes collaboration for optimal patient-centered care and follows a lifespan approach with content divided into four clinical areas-Pediatrics, Sexual & Reproductive Health, Obstetrics, and Adult-Gerontology. To support varying advanced practice roles, the authors utilize the S-O-A-P (Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan) format for an organized and accessible teaching and learning experience.

The updated and revised Fourth Edition emphasizes diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and the importance of understanding the unique needs of diverse patient populations. This text considers the ways that racism, homophobia/transphobia, xenophobia, sexism, ageism, and other forms of discrimination impact our patient populations and how nurses can work as allies to ensure quality patient-centered care.
