Brief Description
For Nursing Courses in Growth and Development, Health Promotion or Basic Clinical Theory in the Fundamentals of Nursing.
Using a practical, holistic approach to the health care of individuals and families, this text offers specific guidelines for holistic health assessment, with suggested nursing interventions and health promotion strategies at each developmental stage from birth to death. Unique in its comprehensive, consistent, and integrated format, it covers the physical, cognitive, emotional, sociocultural and spiritual aspects of development for each life stage individually—in equal depth and breadth.
Features
- Consistent, self-contained chapters—Individual lifestages are explored comprehensively and holistically, in separate chapters, rather than spread out over several chapters) to avoid fragmentation and the need to refer to several chapters to understand one age group. Thus, each life stage chapter follows a consistent format—1) Family development and relationships; 2) Physiologic concepts (including physical characteristics, special considerations in physical assessment, nutrition, exercise, rest and sleep, and play or leisure); 3) Psychosocial concepts (including cognitive, emotional and moral/spiritual development and health promotion, and individual developmental tasks); and 4) Health care and nursing applications, (including common health problems and special concerns.)
Provides students with a thorough background essential for learning and applying holistic practice.
