Imogene King: A Conceptual Framework for Nursing (Notes on Nursing Theories)

Nurses routinely set goals for, and frequently with, clients. And yet how often is that process examined from a nursing theory perspective?

This book provides a succinct overview of Imogene King's theory which emphasizes client participation and mutual goal-setting and provides an interactive framework for nurses. Evans describes the origin of the theory and its underlying assumptions and provides examples for application.
