The 9th Edition of Community and Public Health Nursing offers a student-friendly and visually appealing text that goes beyond the traditional client-nurse relationship to focus on population-based care. In today’s healthcare systems, population-focused interventions and tools are increasingly essential, particularly in acute care settings where infection rates are rising and the monitoring of nurse-sensitive outcome indicators is crucial. Author Cherie Rector incorporates real-life examples, case studies, and perspectives to underscore the significance of care transitions. The book provides comprehensive coverage of various community and public settings, situations, and populations, emphasizing the importance of health promotion, disease prevention, and safeguarding at-risk groups, such as the elderly, LGBT community, and veterans. This updated 9th Edition also takes a global perspective and explores new innovations and emerging threats to public health.
