Summary:
- Gordon's functional health patterns organization helps future nurses learn to think not just about an illness, but rather about a human's response to alterations in health.- A chapter on Research and Evidence-Based Practice introduces readers to this important emerging trend, and research boxes throughout the text emphasize that nursing practice must be supported by research.- A full chapter on Information Systems and Technology discusses the impact of emerging and evolving technologies on health care and health care delivery.- Chapter on Culture and Ethnicity addresses the changing populations that nurses serve. Concepts such as trans-cultural communication or trans-cultural delegation are also addressed throughout the text as appropriate.- The collaborative care environment is discussed within the context of leadership, delegation, management and prioritization.
