Description/Summary
Fairfield University faculty members Jessica Alicea-Planas, Susan Bartos, Cynthia Bautista, Jaclyn Conelius, Laura Conklin, Vanessa Daou, Christa Palancia Esposito, Rose Iannino-Renz, Alison E. Kris, Jenna A. LoGiudice, Kathleen Lovanio, Diana R. Mager, Eileen R. O’Shea, and Kelly Sullivan contributed chapters to this book.
This practical text is distinguished by its in-depth coverage of populations, ranging from opioidaddicted veterans to young children suffering from obesity. Focused on the educational needs of students in undergraduate and bridge programs, this book is grounded in evidence-based practice, in-depth content, and clinical case studies.
Five sections address population health in the following settings: community-based care, home and rural health, school-based and primary care, medical home and palliative care, and acute and long-term care. Each section begins with an overview chapter addressing fundamental concepts, characteristic trends, expenditures, and critical considerations. Subsequent chapters provide descriptions of varied patient populations, relevant care settings, and examples of the RN’s role within each setting. Chapters conclude with a case study that illustrates a day in the life of a typical nurse, which includes assessment and evaluation of present symptoms, demographic information, social and environmental determinants, and medical background. Chapters also encompass advocacy and policy roles, care access, emergency preparedness, and community resiliency.
