Health care is changing like never before Every day

there are new technologies, new treatments, and new

pressures Changes in response to social, political, and

economic factors are challenging and changing

every-thing—including nursing This text addresses these

changes by recognizing that students, now and in the

future, will have less clinical experience in acute care

settings and more exposure to alternate settings, such as

skilled nursing units, home health, and outpatient

clin-ics, for clinical learning experiences

A holistic concept of people, health, wellness, and

healing is used to avoid the fragmentation that may

occur in some health care settings A holistic perspective

focuses on all dimensions of an individual, including

physiological, psychological, social, cultural, cognitive,

and spiritual An individual cannot be divided into

sep-arate entities and still be viewed as a unique being In

keeping with the holistic perspective, many concepts

(such as sexuality, spirituality) have been integrated

throughout the text

Special attention has been given to provide a clear,

concise presentation of content that is realistic for the

beginning nursing student This text is timely in its

approach to content, recognizing the inherent changes

affecting the health care delivery system and the nursing

curriculum The authors recognize the student as an

active participant who assumes a collaborative role in

the learning process Content is presented to challenge

the student to develop critical thinking skills

ORGANIZATION

Unit I, Nursing’s Perspective: Past, Present and

Future, explores many aspects that are essential to
