| Summary |
"Orientation to Nursing in the Rural Community examines the evolving health care delivery systems and role of nursing within the rural context. Divided into three parts, including perspectives from experts in Australia and Canada, the book covers the foundations of rural nursing, special populations, and future perspectives. Students will find special features in each chapter such as lists of objectives, key terms, points to remember, suggested research activities, and discussion questions extremely helpful."--Jacket |
