Caring Assessment Tool Book December 9, 2008
Dr. Watson is truly the expert on nursing caring and did excellent work in revising this assessment tool book. The information included is better organized and deeper than the first book edition. Plus, an added feature is the contact information of the tool creators.
If you are looking for a deep philosophical explanation of what caring is and in depth information on the theoretical basis for assessment of caring, this book probably isn't for you. However, if you are a researcher and want to know what tools are available, know about their reliability and validity, plus see what they look like, this is your book.
