Description
The concept of holistic nursing is applied in this book, in order to introduce students to the nursing process and provide a strong philosophical, theoretical and clinical base. A positive, caring approach is developed through constant examination of professional, legal and ethical issues. Offering a thorough overview of each phase of the nursing process, from assessment and diagnosis to intervention and evaluation, the book gives coverage of systems theory and patient communication and patient self-care and nursing intervention in specific situations. New chapters in this edition expand coverage of important topics, including the history of nursing in the US, care of the surgical patient, prenatal care and family development. The book has been written in a lucid style and highlighted by excellent illustrations.
