Caring for the Vulnerable: Perspectives in Nursing Theory, Practice, and Research focuses on vulnerable populations and how nurses can care for them, develop programs for them, conduct research, and influence health policy. Units I and II focus on concepts and theories; Unit III on research; Units IV, V, and VI on practice-oriented measures, including teaching nursing students to work with vulnerable patients and clients; and Unit VII on policy. The text provides a broad overview of material critical to working with these populations, comprehensive treatment of issues related to vulnerable populations, outstanding contributors who are experts in what they write, and a global focus. There's a total of 31 newChapters focusing on new and emerging research on vulnerable populations. This text is generally used as a supplement in a wide variety of courses - from health to population health, to global health. The Fifth Edition will continue to focus more on DNP authors and assess eachChapter for relevance to DNP-prepared nurses.
