Population-Based Nursing: Concepts and Competencies for Advanced Practice Second
Edition, describes the significance of the role that nurses have played and must
continue to play in population health. It addresses the core competencies
for population-based nursing, as proposed by the American Association of
Colleges of Nursing (AACN) for curricula in doctor of nursing practice (DNP)
programs. These competencies, and thus this book, are equally important to
nurses in any advanced practice role. The newly added chapter on the global
implications of population-based nursing adds an entirely new and interesting
dimension to the book.
