Evidence-Based Nursing Care Guidelines: Medical-Surgical Interventions by Ackley, Ladwig, Swan, & Tucker

I and my colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Van Horn were invited to write, and then wrote a chapter in this book encouraging nurses to promote family integrity. This chapter has led to a succession of nursing journal articles by Dr. Van Horn and I on Evidence-based practice encouraging nurses to help families cope with acute and chronic illnesses. It was this program of scholarship that led to my tenure here at UNCG.
