Corners are exposed and cover has some scuffing. Front hinge is weak and beginning to split at title page. Stamps of the Hamden, Connecticut Public Health and Visiting Nurse Association on pastedowns. A few markings on page edges and title page; pages are otherwise clean. This manual was intended to suggest procedures to guide the public health nurse in the field, and which were intended to apply to services large and small: counties, small-communities, states, or large cities. The NOPHN was assisted in compiling this manual by a number of other agencies, including the National Tuberculosis Association, the New York State Department of Health, the NIH, the New Haven VNA, the East Harlem Nursing and Health Service, and many others. The book is organized in three parts: Administration and Organizations, Family Health, and Services to the Family. Topics include a description of public health nursing, its relationship to other agencies, administrative responsibilities, reports and records, home visits, health conferences, maternity and child health services, school nursing, industrial nursing, morbidity nursing service, tuberculosis nursing, the control of syphilis and gonorrhea, and orthopedic nursing. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, good condition. 529 pages, octavo.
