Book Description

ISBN-10: 0766801217 | ISBN-13: 978-0766801219 | Publication Date: September 11, 2001 | Edition: 1

Acknowledging the tremendous changes in the health care system, this book offers a current and fresh perspective on nursing in the 21st century. A departure from the "medical model", its emphasis on client education, shifting delivery of care, and a collaborative approach fosters a practical view of the challenges the student will encounter in the workplace. Core content areas are covered in detail, including pathophysiology, normal and high-risk pregnancy, and women's health across the life-span. The text's integrated, holistic approach incorporates this information within a framework of biological, psychosocial, cultural, and environmental theory in a clear and consistent manner.
