Produktbeschreibung

Lead editors and authors, Mary de Chesnay and Barbara Anderson, continue to offer a timely and comprehensive examination of the many facets of vulnerability in health and healthcare delivery in an updated sixth edition of Caring for the Vulnerable: Perspectives in Nursing Theory, Practice, and Research. Caring for vulnerable populations presents unique challenges, and nursing students need a resource that teaches them how to understand and recognize those who are vulnerable, address their vulnerability, and implement strategies that support their healthcare needs. This book provides a wealth of information for clinicians who care for a variety of vulnerable populations. Chapters cover concepts and theories, research, practical applications, and policy-making for a well-rounded look at how nurses and clinicians can provide optimal patient-centered care and support for vulnerable populations.
