Family Health Care Nursing

Family Health Care Nursing: Theory, Practice, and Research, 6th Edition, is a textbook that examines family nursing care across the family life cycle. The volume applies a theory-guided, evidence-based approach to address the needs of families while adapting to changing healthcare systems.
