Nursing: The Practice of Caring

Jones & Bartlett Learning (1991)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Nursing takes a practicalist turn as the authors explore answers to the question: Will nursing continue to be viewed as an applied science, or will its reinterpretation as a caring practice be fully realized? By overvaluing medical science, particularly in the nursing diagnosis movement, scholars have inadvertantly distorted nursing practice. Nursing is a caring practice that transcends the limits of technology. This thoughtful book will inspire discussions of ethics, issues and trends, and theory and research.
