Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care, 7th Edition Margaret Andrews and Joyceen Boyle

Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care helps nursing students transform their thinking so they develop into culturally competent nurses capable of safe, thoughtful, and ethical care of individuals, families, groups, and communities of diverse backgrounds. Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care takes a life span approach to describe cultural variations in lifestyle, habits, beliefs, and life process; and in doing so, provides a framework that will improve health and nursing care to minority, underrepresented, disenfranchised, and marginalized populations. Rather than just covering specific cultures and expected behaviors/beliefs of that culture, the authors provide students the tools they will need as nurses to effectively perform cultural assessments and

incorporate their findings into their interventions. 978-1-4511-9397-8 / 496 pp / 84 illus / 2015

How to Nurse: Relational Inquiry with Individuals and Families in Shifting Contexts Gweneth Doane and Colleen Varcoe

At the heart of nursing education is the need to prepare students to be safe, competent, ethical providers who are capable of providing high-quality care within the complexities of the ever-evolving North American health care settings. Research shows a gap exists between what nursing students are taught and what they later find out nursing really is as young professionals. 978-1-4511-9026-7 / 480 pp / 37 illus / 2013
