Description

Transcultural Nursing: Assessment and Intervention, 3/e, addresses specific assessment and intervention strategies needed for clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds. The book provides a systematic model of nursing assessment and intervention which takes into account six cultural phenomena: communication, space, social organisation, time, environmental control, and biological variations. The model then serves as the organising framework for the rest of the book.
