Population And Community Health Nursing (6th Edition)
Available To Downloads

The community/population health/public health nurse is charged with promoting the health of populations, not only the individuals within populations. This requires advocacy on the part of the nurse, for entire communities as well as for the individuals within. The long-awaited sixth edition of Population-based & Community Health Nursing by respected leader and educator Mary Jo Clark has been thoroughly updated with an even stronger population-based nursing approach. Population-based & Community Health Nursing, 6e continues to approach population-based/community health nursing from an aggregate perspective, clearly showing how nurses can serve to improve the health of populations within a community by functioning as advocates on many levels. To illustrate how that can be manifested, real-life vignettes begin every chapter, showing students what advocacy looks like in the public health context.  In each chapter, clinical reasoning exercises are woven throughout in boxed features.

This book is awful. It's huge and unorganized. Only got it for school. Waste of money. But then again aren't most of these textbooks??it only had a star because doesn't accept without a star rating

I appreciated all of the new factoids that I found out from reading this book. However, the reason I couldn't give this text a 5 star rating was that it quoted from Wikipedia, which is such a no-no in the Academic World. Otherwise, great text.

This was for a second part of a Community class. It just did not give me the great information I liked from the previous book. Some of the chapters were repetitive making it a difficult resource to use for writing papers. The case studies were great though.

Nice textbook and to the point. Interesting case studies that my class uses for discussions.
