• The nursing profession provides all-inclusive health care embracing all aspects of an individual’s life, namely, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellbeing. Diagnosis of the bodily ailments is only one aspect of treatment; medicines are not meant to live on! Understanding the patient’s socio-economic background is vital to ensure wholesome care. This book successfully strives to communicate this important lesson to the aspiring nurses.
• Today’s sedentary lifestyle has much to do with the prevalence of diseases. Every illness has a history rooted in the patient’s socio-economic environment. Therefore a nurse who understands his/her patient’s social history can provide better care. This fact lies atthe base of every lesson in this book.
•  The exercise provided at the end of each chapter provides an opportunity to the students to encapsulate their learning as well as articulate their viewpoints on the topics taught, which will enable the teachers to gauge students’level of comprehension of sociological terms, concepts and ideas.
