520			_a"Florence Nightingale is considered to be the founder of modern nursing, as she established the first nursing school in the world in 1860. This school promoted the idea of nurses as professional, educated caregivers for the sick. Over the past 160 years, nursing has evolved alongside advancements in healthcare. Today, the nursing profession is the largest segment of the United States' healthcare workforce, with more than four million members. Nursing practice covers a wide range of areas, including health promotion, disease prevention, coordination of care, and palliative care. Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring patient care is delivered safely, effectively, and compassionately. They provide patient assessments, evaluations, and care in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, schools, workplaces, and ambulatory settings. Nurses recognize patients' needs holistically, including their social, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, and attend to them in a caring way. The nursing practice is guided by the Nursing Practice Act (NPA), which outlines standards and scopes. These standards include comprehensive nursing assessments, collaboration with healthcare teams, patient-centered healthcare plans, critical thinking, and decision making in the execution of independent nursing strategies. The NPA also covers the provision of care as prescribed by authorized healthcare providers, evaluation of interventions, development of teaching plans, and delegation of nursing interventions, and advocacy for patients. The guidelines provided by the NPA and its rules help ensure that nursing practice is safe and professional, protecting patients from any unsafe nursing practice. This book covers the fundamental principles of nursing and patient care. It is divided into seven chapters, each of which focuses on a specific topic. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts and skills required for nursing practice, and is an essential resource for nursing students and professionals alike"-- Back cover.
