Excerpts

Preface To provide holistic health promotion and preventive care, we believe the nurse and other health care providers must consider all dimensions of development and the total health of the person and family. The physical, mental, emotional, sociocultural, and spiritual needs and characteristics are interrelated. Your emphasis must be on comprehensive assessment of the whole person and on health promotion and appropriate interventions and strategies rather than on patchwork remedies or fragmented understanding. This has been an emphasis in each of our previous editions. We are gratified to see the emphasis of nursing and health care dramatically follow our projection. Now in the seventh edition, we have retained and updated the most important of these concepts. All chapters have been reorganized to present the most essential information. This text introduces you to the highly complex, normal person and the family during the entire life span--from birth to death. Birth is considered the first developmental stage, death the last. In Part 1, Chapters 1, 2, and 3, you will explore the influences on the developing person--sociocultural, environmental, spiritual, and religious. In Part II, Chapters 4, S, and 6, you will study the family as the basic unit for the developing person, theories of human development, and basic principles of growth and development. Chapters 7 through 14 present each life stage from infancy through later adulthood. Chapter 15 presents dying and death as the last developmental stage. Each chapter is presented in a consistent format: Family development and relationships Physiologic concepts, including physical characteristics, special considerations in physical assessment, nutrition, exercise, rest and sleep, play or leisure, and health promotion Psychosocial concepts, including cognitive, emotional and moral and spiritual development, individual developmental tasks, and health promotion Health care and nursing applications, including common health problems and special concerns Research abstracts and case situations further highlight significant findings for the individual and family throughout the life span. We believe that the integrated, holistic approach of this text provides the most comprehensive review possible of each developmental stage and, in a sense, a critical pathway paradigm for health and health promotion. As you use this book, keep in mind that although each person is unique, the uniqueness occurs in the predictable patterns discussed in this text. Your knowledge of normal mental and physical health and influences on development and health at each life stage can help you detect deviations from the norm and use intervention measures appropriate to the person's or family's development. In this text, intervention focuses on measures that foster and maintain health and major points of care for common health problems. The table at the end of the preface summarizes health promotion measure discussed throughout the book. We do not cover diseases, their treatment, or specific assessment techniques in detail. These are covered in many clinical texts that can be used in conjunction with this text. Before you can understand the ill person and the family, you must understand the well person in the usual family and community setting. Only then can your assessment be thorough and your intervention individualized. Only then will you be prepared to give the community-focused care that is now emphasized. Although nurses have always had to cope with death, usually it has been written about on a superficial basis. An in-depth study of the phases of dying, how to assist the person and family in making decisions related to death, and specific care measures will enhance your ability to foster a naturalness about this last event in life.
