Nurse-Client Interaction: Implementing the Nursing Process - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

NURSE-CLIENT INTERACTION has enjoyed success over the past five editions because of its complete coverage of both the theory and practice of nurse-client interaction, framed within the nursing process. The sixth edition builds upon this standard by adding more graphic elements, boxes, and bulleted material more accessible for students. The six-step process, with the new "Outcome Identification" step, is introduced in Chapter 1 and employed throughout to adhere to the latest ANA standards. Also included are critical thinking questions, cultural consideration boxes, self-assessment activities, and video activities based on Mosby's Communication in Nursing Video Series in order to facilitate greater student involvement and comprehension of the ideas presented.
