Approachable, timely, and tailored to today?s active learners, Rector?s Community and Public Health Nursing: Promoting the Public's Health, 11th Edition, provides an engaging introduction to population-focused care, broadening students? viewpoints from the client?nurse relationship to encompass a community healthcare focus and highlighting the critical role of public health nursing in protecting and promoting care for vulnerable populations. This highly visual, student-friendly text incorporates a plethora of meaningful real-life examples and case studies to facilitate a foundational understanding of public health principles and evidence-based practice.

Features
|
| This well-developed book begins with the foundations and essentials of community health nursing, including chapters on research and transcultural nursing. It then turns to the essentials of public health through a review of heath services, epidemiology, communicable disease, and environmental health. Next, the book focuses on the development of nursing's role in advocating and caring for populations and communities using toolbox skills such as communication, technology, health promotion, program planning, and policymaking. Latter units cover frameworks for working with communities and different aggregate populations such as children, mothers, veterans, and people with disabilities, to name a few. The real-life examples and case studies facilitate a foundational understanding of public health principles and evidence-based practice. These activities help learners explore viewpoints from the client-nurse relationship to embrace a community healthcare focus. Content and learning features based on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's (NCSBN) Clinical Judgment Measurement Model throughout the book encourage critical thinking and foster clinical judgment. |
