Media Edition of Nursing in the Community (3rd Edition)

This book emphasizes critical thinking and the application of community health principles in nursing practice. Using the “Dimensions Model,” it pulls together nursing, health risks and health care, while applying community principles to the individual, the family and the community. A holistic approach enables users to focus on all aspects of community health. Chapter topics are organized under six main areas: the community health nursing context, the process dimension of community health nursing, special influences on the dimensions of health, the dimensions model and special client populations, the dimensions model in specialized settings, and the dimensions model and selected community health problems. For future nurses, and for use in RN programs.
