NURSING

Theoretical Basis for Nursing, 4th Edition M. McEwen, E. Wills

Easy to read without diluting the complexity of the content, this acclaimed book focuses on the application of theory, while helping them build skills they will use in developing, analysing, and evaluating theory in their future career. The book covers “shared” theories (from other disciplines in the sociologic, behavioral, and biomedical sciences); organises grand theories based on human needs, the interactive process, and the unitary process; and demonstrates applications of theory in nursing practice, nursing research, nursing administration and management, and nursing education. 978-1-4511-9031-1 / 592 pp / 32 illus, 75 tables / 2014 / £37.00 €44.00
