Synopsis

How do you solve population-level health problems, develop nursing inventions, and apply them to clinical practice?

This problem-solving, case-based approach shows you how to apply public health knowledge across all settings and populations. You’ll encounter different case studies in every chapter as you explore concepts such as community assessments, public health policy, and surveillance. Step by step, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills you need to apply public health principles across a variety of health care settings, special populations, and scenarios, and to evaluate their effectiveness.

• New! Healthy People 2030 boxes that present its goals and objectives and discuss how to apply them to everyday work settings
• New & Expanded! Content on communicable diseases and pandemics and how they affect the structure of public health, plus updated coverage of the social determinants of health and vulnerable populations
• New! “Why It Matters” boxes exploring the clinical nurse’s role in public and community health and illustrating the application of theory to practice
