Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a framework for effectively implementing a tuberculosis screening and prevention program. Written from the author's years of experience working in this field in Baltimore, the book offers a candid, street-level perspective. Tuberculosis nursing is presented as an essential, specialized field within public health, and the author establishes the nurse as the most direct agent in the fight to control this disease. Comprehensive in scope, the book delves into the education of the public health nurse, establishing qualifications and standards, as well as the roles of various stakeholders, including doctors, social workers, and patients. The author also emphasizes the critical need for segregation of advanced tuberculosis cases in hospitals for the protection of the community. She further underscores the value of home visits by public health nurses as the most effective means of identifying and assisting infected individuals, often living in poverty, who might not otherwise seek care. This book is a valuable resource for public health nurses, healthcare professionals, and policymakers seeking to establish or improve tuberculosis control programs.
