Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Nursing practice needs to be informed
by an understanding of people and the societies in which they live. This introductory text has been designed specifically to discuss
those aspects of sociology which are most relevant to nursing and the health care context in which it takes place.
