Details: This text presents foundational concepts pivotal to delivering nursing care in the community setting, with specific attention to the NLN competencies for community-based nursing care. The author examines the variety of settings and situations in which the community-based nurse provides care, highlighting cultural diversities in the patient populations, and emphasizing interactions between the individual and the family.
Some exciting features of the 5th edition include: The Nurse Speaks/The Nursing Student Speaks is a real-life, clinical, community-based nursing example opening each chapter.

Client Situations in Practice boxes examine real life community-based nursing situations and solutions specific to each chapter’s content. Assessment Tools boxes provide opportunities to apply learning and test knowledge gained.
