Rehabilitation Nursing Process: Proccess, Application and Outcomes, 3rd Edition.

REHABILITATION NURSING: PROCESS, APPLICATION, AND OUTCOMES equips the reader with a solid foundation in the concepts and principles of rehabilitation nursing, while maintaining the fundamental focus of rehabilitation nursing - holistic care of the client. This third edition builds on rehabilitation nursing knowledge from concepts to implementation, enabling the reader to apply theory to practice. Separate sections cover concepts, foundations, and management principles essential for client-centered rehabilitation programs, as well as topics such as improving client outcomes in clinical applications, rehabilitation nursing across functional health patterns, and special client populations. A chapter on immune and regulatory systems focuses on the client with HIV. Throughout the text, the holistic health pattern approach to rehabilitation nursing is integrated in critical thinking exercises and client case studies at the end of each chapter.
