Front Cover
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000 - Medical - 435 pages
This volume examines the role of the contemporary public health nurse as a hands-on caregiver and as a community detective/epidemiologist. The book continues the global focus of the previous editions, and includes concepts and goals addressed by the World Health Organization (WHO). New to this edition are: a strategies section that covers the major groups with which community health nurses work; an expanded explanation of the differentiation between primary health care and primary care; and a health policy chapter in the Foundations section.
