Community As Partner: Theory and Practice in Nursing

This text for community health nursing courses uses the Community as Partner model and a nursing process framework to present principles and functions that are basic to community health nursing. The use of a fictional community to demonstrate the application of the nursing process, exemplars from around the world, and case studies with community stories bring real world experiences into the classroom. Completely updated, this edition offers six new chapters that demonstrate how the Community as Partner model has been used throughout the world; and three new chapters that cover the hottest issues and trends: Primary Health Care; Ethics and Community Health: An Advocacy Approach; and Cultural Competence in Partnership with Communities.
