Abstract "Proven to be one of the most important public health texts for students and practitioners alike. Focused on developing evidence-based public health nursing practice in diverse settings, the core text builds on the Henry Street Consortium's framework of 12 competencies for population-based, entry-level public health nursing (PHN). This full-color, newly designed third edition has completely revised and updated coverage, including a new competency on utilizing principles and science of environmental health to promote safe and sustainable environments for individuals, families, systems, and communities; examples demonstrating the global growth in public health nursing; theory applications showing how PHNs use frameworks to further public health initiatives; [and] United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) providing a framework for public health nursing practice"-- Provided by publisher.
