Health Promotion focuses on strategies to promote health and wellness for individuals and families across the lifespan. This textbook highlights key topics such as nutrition, exercise, stress management, empowerment, and risk reduction practices. It also explores family dynamics, functions, parenting styles, and stages of development, alongside nursing care for reproductive health, pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum care, newborns, and ill children. Mental health concepts are applied to common conditions and maladaptive behaviors, with an emphasis on teaching and supporting healthy lifestyle choices. Interactive learning activities, including NCLEX Next Generation-style case studies and questions, are integrated throughout to enhance critical thinking and practical application. Designed for nursing students, this resource equips learners with the tools to foster health and well-being in diverse populations.
