What is nursing? What do nurses do? How do you define it? The 3rd Edition of this AJN Book-of-the-Year Award-Winner helps you answer those questions with a unique approach to the scientific basis of nursing knowledge. Using conceptual models, grand theories, and middle-range theories as guidelines you will learn about the current state and future of nurse educators, nurse researchers, nurse administrators, and practicing nurses. The CD-ROM features conceptual model- and theory-based practice applications, practice tools, research applications, and research instruments, as well as each chapter's bibliography. An overview and list of key terms at the beginning of each chapter provides a quick preview of the essential content. A consistent nursing process format for each conceptual model and theory help you understand how it is actually used in practice. Strategies demonstrate how to implement each nursing model and theory in clinical nursing practice. Quotations from primary sources represent each theorist's work, avoiding confusing or inaccurate interpretations of their intent. Tables feature applications to practice and research listed according to development stage, medical diagnosis, and practice setting, and health focus. EXPANDED! A great focus on practice and research. NEW! Continuing case study in each conceptual model or theory chapter that follows a fictional multi-generational, culturally diverse family to demonstrate its applications to practice and research. UPDATED & EXPANDED! Streamlined two-color design with new and revised illustrations of each nursing model and theory in nursing practice.
