Opis

Nursing in the Community: an essential guide to practice is an introductory textbook for professionals and students who have chosen a career in community health care nursing. The book gives comprehensive coverage of the full range of professional issues, such as personal safety and the environment, in addition to public health, health promotion and family health nursing.

This user-friendly text provides clear guidelines on how to transfer skills from the hospital/ acute setting to the community. In addition, it fully reflects current government health, social policy, the implications for the roles and responsibilities of the community health care nurse, and aims to support a trainee/new practitioner to function safely and effectively in the full range of community settings.

Recenzje

Good for an over view, for pre-registration students and further sources for reference.
University Plymouth

Good introduction for community. I like the structure around learning outcomes and tasks to do.
Mrs J Sime, Department of Nursing, University Coll

The quartet of authors fulfils the promise of the title. The book is user-friendly, with each chapter displaying learning outcomes and incorporating a scattering of exercises, reflection and examples to encourage the reader to relate theory and practice.
