by Monica Byrne, F.J. Bennett

Revised throughout, with a new chapter on care of the disabled and simple first aid, and with a completely rewritten chapter on community nursing, this manual treats in detail those subjects necessary for effective public health nursing and health education in developing countries. The authors give a careful account of all aspects of the community nurse's task, stressing the vital importance of personal communication and of the teaching of sanitation, cleanliness, and basic health principles.
