Public Health Nursing: Practicing Population-Based Care

Public Health Nursing: Practicing Population-Based Care, 3rd Edition, offers an instructional foundation in community-focused nursing. Designed for students and faculty in public health nursing and education, the text takes a historical perspective on public health challenges to provide evidence for contemporary practices.

The textbook examines the role of nursing in primary health care alongside the science of population-based care, including epidemiology, social epidemiology, and evidence-based practice. It also reviews technology used for research, data storage and retrieval, trend identification, and educational program delivery.

In addition, this edition includes the Minnesota Department of Health population-based intervention wheel, along with disaster preparedness case studies on Hurricane Katrina and Haiti.
