Clinical Integration and Specialty Practice in Cannabis Nursing

Cannabis nursing is an emerging area of healthcare focused on the safe, evidence-based use of cannabis and cannabinoid therapies in patient care. As medical cannabis becomes recognized for its therapeutic potential in managing chronic pain, neurological disorders, cancer-related symptoms, mental health conditions, and palliative care needs, nurses play a critical role in education, assessment, management, and collaboration. Cannabis nursing integrates traditional nursing principles with specialized knowledge of cannabinoid pharmacology, legal and ethical considerations, dosing strategies, and patient advocacy. Through clinical integration, cannabis nurses bridge gaps between conventional medicine and alternative therapies, ensuring patients receive informed care while promoting improved health outcomes. Clinical Integration and Specialty Practice in Cannabis Nursing explores how cannabis nursing in clinical healthcare settings supports patient treatment, symptom management, and wellness. It examines the specialized roles, responsibilities, ethical considerations, and evidence-based practices nurses use when caring for patients using medical cannabis therapies. This book covers topics such as oncology, medical education, and clinical science, and is a useful resource for medical and healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
