With the majority of graduate nurses going on to work in primary health, Community Health and Wellness provides the reader with the knowledge and tools they need to practise competently and safely in the community.
The book provides an overview of primary healthcare principles and how to apply them, enabling a deep understanding of the role of the community health nurse in providing holistic individual and community care within an interdisciplinary healthcare environment. Continuous real-world case studies throughout enable the reader to understand how the social determinants of health influence each family member's life, their communities and the challenges they face.
This seventh edition has been written by nursing experts Dr Jill Clendon and Dr Ailsa Munns, and incorporates feedback from students, users and practising community health nurses to ensure it meets the needs of today's students as they embark on their career beyond academia.
