Description

This New Edition of Home Health Care Nursing is a comprehensive and authoritative text for nurses working in the dynamic field of home health. Administrative and clinical content is included, providing all the essential, detailed material that today's home health care nurse needs. It places home health nursing in the context of the health care system, discussing such administrative issues as the continuum of care, discharge planning, managed care, and reimbursement. It also presents the basic competencies of home health: assessment, nursing diagnosis, symptom control, nutritional support, and rehabilitation. Caring for clients throughout the lifespan and in a family context is emphasized, as well as the specialized care of clients with specific disorders most commonly seen in the home, such as pulmonary disease, cancer, AIDS, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, heart failure, and renal and genitourinary disorders. Finally, it identifies and discusses the professional challenges of ethics, stress, and research in home health nursing.

  • Case studies are included throughout the book to help illustrate the concepts being discussed
  • Paediatric content added to each chapter of the Specific Disorders section as appropriate; helps guide the care of this population of home care clients
  • New chapters on Case Management and Home Health Care (chapter 2) and Managed Care (chapter 5)
  • New chapters on Cultural Competency in Home Care (chapter 14) and Psychiatric Home Care Nursing (chapter 26)
  • An extensively revised chapter on Research in Home Care
