Community Health Nursing: Promoting the Health of Populations

Description

Based on the unique upstream thinking approach that emphasizes health promotion efforts to address the precursors of poor health, this edition focuses on the issues, responsibilities, and roles important for providing contemporary community health nursing care. Detailed case studies provide a community component for each step of the nursing process, and several new chapters have been added, including the economics of health care, care of the disabled population, and care for clients in prison and parish settings. The complete Instructor's Electronic Resource is available on CD-ROM and includes PowerPoint slides.
