About this book

Dorothea Orem will be extremely useful to undergraduate students and nursing professionals.
About the series:
"Designed to provide a concise description of the conceptual frameworks and theories in nursing which have emerged in the last quarter century. Though short and succinct, they provide a useful overall view for those studying or actively involved in nursing as well as for those interested in the profession and its development . . . . A highly recommended series."
--Journal of the Institute of Health Education
"Slim, yet a wealth of information is contained within their pages. The most difficult of issues is articulated in a manner which enlightens rather than clouds understanding. King?s model is notoriously difficult to explain to beginners, but Evans does so magnificently."
--Nursing Times
