ABSTRACT
Fully updated with references to The NMC Code (2008) and Standards for pre-registration nurses, the second edition of this introductory text explores the many sensitive issues of culture, race, and ethnicity as they affect patient care. Topics include health and illness and their relationship to religious beliefs, mental health and culture, women's health in a multicultural society, caring for older people, and death and bereavement. New chapters discuss men's health and cultural care and updated case studies and reflective exercises help readers link theory to practice.
