  For undergraduate courses in Community Health Nursing.

   

  The community/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 fifth edition of Community Health Nursing by respected leader and educator Mary Jo Clark approaches 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, critical thinking exercises are woven throughout in boxed features.

  Together, pregnancy and childbirth are a normal life process — a process in which the entire family has a vital role to play. This philosophy has shaped Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing Care through 7 editions, and continues to serve as a guiding theme. With a strong focus on community based nursing and client education, this text emphasizes the importance of collaboration between nurses and childbearing families. It is the foremost goal of this book to inspire nursing students to become expert caregivers and to teach them that working with childbearing families requires a combination of knowledge, intuition, and technical skills.

  For use as a core text for Maternity Nursing courses that include women's health.

   

  Nurses working with childbearing families face a variety of new challenges, including shortened lengths of hospital stay, the trend toward greater use of community-based and home care, and downsizing and mergers of health-care systems. The Eighth Edition of this popular text continues to emphasize the central role played by maternity nurses working with today's childbearing families, but also includes a global perspective, covering culture as a factor in relating to the woman's childbirth experience.  Women's health is emphasized throughout the lifespan, not only during the childbearing years, providing a more comprehensive perspective.
