Janie B Butts: Philosophies and Theories for Advanced Nursing Practice, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Philosophies and Theories for Advanced Nursing Practice, Fifth Edition provides an essential foundation of nursing models and interdisciplinary theories for nurses to build their own nursing philosophies.

This text is beneficial for students who need an introductory understanding of philosophy as it explains how theory is constructed. It is also suitable for learners and nurses seeking to analyze and apply that theory to advanced practice.

Known as a comprehensive handbook for graduate nursing students and advanced practice nurses alike, the text incorporates middle range practice theory as well as interdisciplinary and nursing theories. Students will find a wealth of information to draw from for graduate projects, while APRNs will find research useful for patient care.
