The sixth edition of Family Health Care Nursing explores family nursing the way it is practiced today—with a theory-guided, evidence-based approach to care throughout the family life cycle that responds to the needs of families and adapts to the changing dynamics of the health care system. From health promotion to end of life, the streamlined organization in this text delivers the clinical guidance practitioners need to care for families. Significantly updated and thoroughly revised, the 6 th edition reflects the art and science of family nursing practice in today’s rapidly evolving healthcare environments.
