As the field of Nursing Education is continuously growing, the healthcare
industry is constantly changing to acclimatize to the current needs of society.
Similarly, nursing student’s role is rapidly evolving as they are tasked with
an even wider range of healthcare responsibilities given in their complex
curriculum.
The development of this Community Health Nursing Practical Record
Book for B.Sc. Nursing is a result of tireless efforts committed to create
excellence from most popular resources of national and international
importance. Every effort has been made to present clinical formats with
more practical orientation than theoretical outlook. The values and skills
needed by the students in this era of dramatic changes in healthcare delivery
system has emphasized further the role of nursing in different settings.
The aim of writing this Practical Record Book of Community Health
Nursing is to help the nursing students to have handful of clinical
requirements guide and to facilitate them to complete clinical posting with
effective utilization of given learning experiences. It serves as a clinical guide
for the students to understand comprehensive nursing care by gathering
client information, performing nursing assessment and documenting the
provided nursing care.
In the scenario of uncertain strategies adopted by different institutions, I
feel this Record Book will provide a clear vision for the students to complete
required nursing care plans, nursing case studies, case presentations, drug
presentations, various reports, etc.
It is of utmost importance for the student to have clear ideas in relation
to the practice of nursing since they are goingto provide care to the
individuals, families, and communities including emotional care. To fulfill
this requirement, it is necessary to have common and well-approved
strategies to follow to provide individual-based nursing care.
Every attempt has been made to include complete information for the
student so that they can successfully complete their clinical requirements.
