Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The community/population health/public health nurse is charged with promoting the health of populations, not only the individuals within populations. This requires advocacy on the part of the nurse, for entire communities as well as for the individuals within. This text has been thoroughly updated with an even stronger population-based nursing approach. This text continues to approach population-based/community health nursing from an aggregate perspective, clearly showing how nurses can serve to improve the health of populations within a community by functioning as advocates on many levels. To illustrate how that can be manifested, real-life vignettes begin every chapter, showing students what advocacy looks like in the public health context. In each chapter, clinical reasoning exercises are woven throughout in boxed features.
