Community&PublicHealthNursing
is designed to provide students
abasic grounding inpublic healthnursingprincipleswhile emphasizing
aggregate-level nursing. While weaving in meaningful examples from
practice throughout the text, the authors coach students on how to
navigate between conceptualizing about a population-focus while
also continuing to advocate and care for individuals, families, and
aggregates. This student-friendly, highly illustrated text engages
students, and by doing so, eases students into readily applying public
health principles along with evidence-based practice, nursing science,
and skills that promote health, prevent disease, as well as protect at-
riskpopulations!
