This portable manual provides public and community health nurses with the appropriate tools needed to teach patients about disease prevention and healthy lifestyle options. A wide range of assessment tools, risk indicators, and patient teaching tips prepare nurses to form the all-important first line of defense in the illness prevention process. A companion text, the HANDBOOK OF COMMUNITY-BASED AND HOME HEALTH NURSING PRACTICE continues with advanced prevention tools for early diagnosis, screening, treatment, and rehabilitation. Together, this duo provides the nurse with a complete overview of illness prevention.
