Comprehensive Approaches to Cannabis Nursing

Cannabis nursing, a recently approved specialty, is driving changes in clinical education and healthcare administration, reshaping the competencies and skills required for nurses in today's evolving landscape. This rapid shift has created a significant gap in academic literature. There remains a pressing need for interdisciplinary research that examines this transformation while also clarifying the role of nurses in patient education, including cannabinoid therapeutics, dosing, delivery methods, and the potential benefits of these treatments for patients. Comprehensive Approaches to Cannabis Nursing bridges the knowledge gap surrounding the medical use of cannabis as a transformative modality. This book supports nurses in addressing stigma reduction, policy development, quality assurance, and legal and regulatory compliance. Covering topics such as palliative and end-of-life care, social determinants, and misdiagnosis of cannabis use disorder, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, nurses, physicians, physician assistants, prescribers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and more.
