This unique, problem-solving, case-based approach shows you how. You’ll encounter different case studies in every chapter—that explore concepts such as community assessments, public health policy, and surveillance. Step by step, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills you need to apply public health principles across a variety of health care settings, special populations, and scenarios.
Achieving this is dependent on nurses and public health practitioners implementing the core functions of practice—assessment, assurance, and policy development.
