Synopsis
This is a primer for undergraduate students that applies essential concepts and theories to nursing practice and health care at the beginner's level. Because most undergraduate students lack the educational maturity to deal with the abstract nature of the subject matter, and given the advanced level of current theory books, students erroneously conclude that theory is difficult, demanding, and has little relevance to real world nursing. This book provides a foundation to enable the student to understand and apply theory at the undergraduate level
