Description
This book has been written keeping in view the specific requirements of student nurses and fully covers the syllabus prescribed by the Nursing Council of India for nursing degree and diploma courses. Although it primarily aims at catering to the curricular needs of B.Sc. nursing and GNM students, it will also be immensely useful for degree students of various other streams studying sociology. The basic concepts have been explained in unambiguous terms from the students’ point of view. Sociological aspects relevant to nursing have been dealt in detail wherever necessary so that students not only learn the subject but also are able to make practical use of the acquired knowledge in profession.
