Description
About the Book
"Nursing theory is the term given to the body of knowledge that is used to support nursing practice. Nursing models are conceptual models, constructed of theories and concepts. They are used to help nurses assess, plan, and implement patient care by providing a framework within which to work. They also help nurses achieve uniformity and seamless care. Nursing theory is a key element of all modern nursing courses"--From the Back Cover
