The fifth edition of the book Nursing Practice in the Community focuses on theory-based practice methodologies using the competency-based framework. Theories which describe, explain, and predict the behavior of clients (particularly families, groups, and the community) provide background frameworks to guide readers on the bases for the selection of content and critical thinking directions by phase of the nursing process. Within these purposes and the background of the book, the editor and contributing authors hope to enhance the teaching-learning empowering competencies of practitioners, teachers, and students based on the uniqueness of every client and the health-healing situation in every nurse-client relationship. Precision and coherence in concept elaboration and illustration hopefully achieve clarity in breaking down complex processes to describe the application of the nursing process by type of disease. Particularly for clinical instructors and students challenged enough to pursue the breadth and depth of community health nurse practice, the theory-based methodologies presented in this book provide teaching-learning alternatives to prevent the likelihood of using "ready-made" nursing care plans and client records to comply with course requirements.

The book begins with a presentation of community health nursing (CHN) as context and practice using a four-client perspective: the individual, family, population group, and community. Within the backdrop of social, political, cultural, and economic determinants of health and illness, the chapter discusses the healthcare delivery system, the national health situation, and the components, processes, and ethico-legal aspects of community health nursing practice. As a CHN practice option in many countries, community-based case management is discussed towards the end of the chapter.
