Nursing and Environmental Health Roundtable : Final Report

Today, many nurses are recognizing the importance of the environmental factors as significant to nursing practice. The role of nurses in environmental health has taken on new urgency as new threats -- from bioterrorism & drug-resistant bacteria to toxic industrial wastes -- emerge every day. Nurses are ideally situated to address environmental health concerns at the individual & community levels. Integration of environmental health into nursing practice, education, & research is needed. This roundtable builds on previous efforts & identifies areas for possible collaboration for environmental health around 3 themes: research, eduction, & translation to practice. Participants discussed a wide range of ideas & made recommendations.Nastof, Teresa is the author of 'Nursing and Environmental Health Roundtable : Final Report', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756739355 and ISBN 0756739357.
