Summary
"Each individual is complex, and as such, is an integral part of many distinct populations, or groups. Such groups can be categorized based on the geographical location where people reside, or by more specific personal information such as gender, age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or presence of a specific diagnosis or health condition. Population Health for Nurses is not your typical textbook from a few decades ago. Unlike traditional textbooks that begin with extensive reviews of historical facts and gradually develop topics over several chapters, our approach is to prepare nurses and students nurses for practical, evidence-based application from page one. Designed as a nurse's field guide, it is divided into five overarching sections, each exploring population health in the following settings: 1. Community-based; 2. Home care and rural; 3. School-based and primary care; 4. Medical homes and palliative care; and 5. Acute and long-term care. Sections begin with an overview chapter introducing readers to fundamental concepts about the setting and groups served therein, including characteristic trends, expenditures and critical concepts. Overview chapters are followed by more succinct chapters highlighting specific populations across the lifespan, and the diseases, illnesses, or healthy/risky behaviors common to them. Chapter topics include nurse advocacy and policy roles; care access; emergency preparedness; community resiliency; infectious and chronic disease prevention, care and outcomes; obesity, addiction, alcohol use, and anxiety disorders; peri-natal death; medication management and emergency department use and misuse. Designed to expose nurses and future nurses to populations in diverse settings, this text is equally appropriate for use in RN to BSN, accelerated and traditional undergraduate nursing programs, within any course related to community, public, or population health. Chapters include populations living at home, in rural settings or on college campuses; the homeless, veteran and immigrant populations; those utilizing primary care offices, medical homes, acute and long-term care facilities. Chapters conclude with case studies written from the nurse's perspective in each setting. Sample answers with rationale are provided to help the reader integrate the information learned into practical application. Finally, PowerPoint presentations are available for educators to use in the classroom as supplementary material and include chapter-specific pertinent themes and information"--
