Public Health, Home & Community Health, Long-Term Care, Nursing Home Care, Home & Community Care 

From the competencies outlined in the Quad Council of Public Health Nursing Organizations (ACHNE) to the AACN’s Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice and the Healthy People 2023 objectives, Community and Public Health Nursing: Evidence for Practice, 4th Edition, prepares your students to meet the challenges of today’s community and public health nursing practice—and beyond—with an evidence-based perspective and an engaging suite of powerful learning tools.

Guided by the premise that evidence-based practice improves quality performance, authors DeMarco and Healey-Walsh walk students through the process of gathering, assessing, analyzing, applying, and evaluating clinical evidence derived from epidemiology and other sources, incorporating immersive case studies, exercises, and clinical examples to help students interpret and apply statistical data to practice decisions.

This 4th Edition is significantly updated to reflect the most timely topics in community and public health nursing practice, including COVID-19 preparedness, cultural diversity, health disparities, globalism, epidemiology and basic biostatistics, ethical considerations, and more. Dynamic activities and ancillaries round out this practical primer, instilling the critical thinking and clinical reasoning capabilities students will employ throughout their nursing careers. -- Amazon.com
