Community/Public Health Nursing: Promoting the Health of Populations, 7th Edition by Mary A. Nies and Melanie McEwen offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to community health nursing. This essential text champions an “upstream” preventive focus, tackling the root causes of poor health in communities, and integrates a powerful social justice approach that advocates for the health and well-being of all, particularly vulnerable populations. Students will gain a deep understanding of the nurse’s pivotal role in community health promotion, inspiring them to engage in social action and health policy to ensure equitable access to basic health needs for everyone. Real-world application is vividly illustrated through engaging clinical examples and innovative photo novellas, which use compelling imagery to depict practical scenarios and the diverse responsibilities of today’s community and public health nurses. This edition, published by Saunders on October 15, 2018, with ISBN-10: 323528945 and ISBN-13: 978-0323528948, also features case studies that effectively bridge theory, concepts, and the nursing process in manageable, real-life examples.
