Summary
Professional nursing requires a highly sophisticated set of communication skills. Every day, nurses must effectively communicate with people of differing religions, ages, sexes and cultures. To deliver the most appropriate and effective medical treatment to such a broad spectrum of people, nurses must have an understanding of the way different cultures interact. Framed as a discussion forum, this programme offers a starting point for training in transcultural nursing. We define culture and multiculturalism in Australia, and discuss the aspects of transcultural nursing, the dangers of cultural conflict, and effective multicultural communication methods.

Summary
"This book provides a valuable guide for all nurses who want to know more about clinical supervision, and will enable both supervisors and supervisees to get the most out of the supervisory experience." "Addressing the practicalities of supervision, the book follows the course of the process step by step, illustrating each stage with an absorbing blend of factual information, opinion, academic theory, anecdotal material, serious comment and useful exercises. A number of theories and models are discussed with reference to supervision, providing a thought-provoking basis for the practical issues raised. Emphasis is placed on the purpose and value of clinical supervision, but also on the potential pitfalls and how to avoid them."--Jacket.

Summary
This is the first book for nurses on how the environment affects nursing practice. Nurses should be concerned with environmental issues for two reasons: 1. Many diseases (such as asthma, lead poisoning, and some cancers) are caused by exposures to toxins in the environment; and 2. Hospitals themselves are sources of pollutants, through release of mercury and dioxin (a byproduct of incinerating plastic PVC products). The book includes information on basic environmental health principles and common environmental health hazards (e.g., in our water, air, schools, hospitals, and homes). It offers a.

Summary
In this new text-reference, Dr. Carl O. Helvie explores the realm of community health care for advanced practice nurses currently working in community care or requiring an awareness and understanding of its salient issues. Simple in its presentation but rigorous in its coverage of related theories and concepts, Advanced Practice Nursing in the Community reviews community health nursing and advanced practice and then presents the Helvie Energy Theory as a guiding framework for the remainder of the volume. In addition to numerous assessment instruments and other tools found throughout the book, case studies follow nearly every chapter to illuminate the content. Clinicians early in their community advanced practice will find the extensive assessment example of an actual community in the Rudyville Community Analysis especially interesting.
