Author Description

A series of case studies allows community nurses to learn how to deal with patients in the community, looking at various aspects of care, from health promotion to epidemiology, working with specific populations, and more. The problem-based learning approach is entirely in keeping with modern teaching practice in nursing. * Includes 18 case studies representing various community health issues. Each case teaches students to apply what they already know and gather new information to determine solutions to real world and complex problems. * Provides questions to guide case analysis that take the student through the steps of the problem-solving process. * Employs a workbook-type layout in a lay-flat binding that allows ample room to take notes and write solutions to the cases. * Supports individual, small group, or classrooom use with its format and case-study approach.
