Summary

4 Star Review from Doody's Review Service and slected as a Doody's Core Title in the Health Sciences for 2026

Approachable, timely, and tailored to today’s active learners, Rector’s Community and Public Health Nursing: Promoting the Public's Health, 11th Edition, provides an engaging introduction to population-focused care, broadening students’ viewpoints from the client–nurse relationship to encompass a community healthcare focus and highlighting the critical role of public health nursing in protecting and promoting care for vulnerable populations.
 
This highly visual, student-friendly text incorporates a plethora of meaningful real-life examples and case studies to facilitate a foundational understanding of public health principles and evidence-based practice. Reflecting an integrated emphasis on the NCSBN’s Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, content and learning features throughout the 11th Edition encourage critical thinking and foster the clinical judgment capabilities students need to excel in their courses and to confidently apply concepts to nursing practice. 
 
The 11th Edition prepares students for modern healthcare challenges by focusing on community and value-based care models. Updated content throughout addresses current issues—including the opioid crisis, mental health, natural disasters, and healthcare reform—while emphasizing social determinants of health and cultural sensitivity in nursing.
