Item description from seller

Ex-library. Original dark blue cloth binding with faded gilt lettering on spine. Cover is loose at rear hinge; front hinge is at risk. Yale University School of Nursing Library bookplate, stamps, and dateslip are present. Catalog number has been removed from spine, damaging spine. Chapters include mental health hygiene in public health nursing, nursing the sick patient, teaching health, nursing the maternity patient, the child in his family, and relationships with coworkers. The book contains quite a bit of description concerning patient attitudes toward health at the time, mental and physical health difficulties and the solutions available to nurses in 1940, and what careful observation on the part of the public health nurse might reveal about a patient. W. Frank Walker, Dr. P.H., has written the forward. A small obituary for Ruth Gilbert, removed from Nursing Outlook, has been kept with this volume. Ruth Gilbert earned her B.A. at Mount Holyoke, M.A. at Yale, and worked as a professor of nursing education at Columbia University Teachers College. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 396 pages, octavo.
