Book Description
This text explores vulnerability from the perspective of individuals, groups, communities, and populations, and addresses the implication of that vulnerability for nurses, nursing, and nursing care. Organized into six units, the text presents a basic structure for caring for the vulnerable, and forms a theoretical perspective on caring within a cultural context, with the ultimate goal of providing culturally competent care. Written specifically for nurses, by nurses, Caring for the Vulnerable is a timely and necessary response to the culturally diverse vulnerable populations for whom nurses must provide appropriate and precise care.
