The author used the same principles and interventions developed while nursing in dealing with clients experiencing personal injuries, working on the estate of a client's deceased family member, or helping a client with the many issues that arise with the end of a marriage. The marriage of nursing and law has been a successful partnership. One career builds on the experience and education of the other, allowing the practitioner to offer clients a total package of legal and health care delivery assistance. © 1999 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
