Description
Known for its comprehensive, readable, consistent format, as well as its coverage of pediatric and geriatric patients, this practical
text and reference presents principles for managing complex patient care in the home environment. It addresses the medical conditions
most commonly seen by the home care nurse in the context of the theoretical foundations of home health nursing. Patient education - a
vital element of home care - is incorporated throughout. This edition features new chapters on oncology home care, social services for
a home care patient, and innovative holistic nursing strategies. It also highlights HIPAA regulations related to home care, new trends
in the growing area of telehealth, and content about disaster planning as it relates to people in their homes.
