"This book covers different approaches to health management with a focus on prevention, health promotion, and patient self-management. ... This book appears to be intended for undergraduate and graduate nursing professionals and is suitable for both. It offers a comprehensive overview of concepts related to health promotion and best-practice interventions and is written in a way that can be understood by both levels of nursing professionals."
