| Discipline: | Public Health | | Subject Definition: | Health Promotion; Nurse's Role | | NLM Class: | WA 590 | | LC Class: | RT67 | | Abstract: | In Contemporary Health Promotion in Nursing Practice, Bonnie Raingruber describes why nurses are positioned to model healthy behavior to the general public, and how they can promote health to their clients and community. This text emphasizes the nurse's role in health promotion, and illustrates how healthy behaviors, like weight management, positive dietary changes, smoking cessation, and exercise, are more likely to be adopted by clients if nurses adopt these same behaviors. |
