This simplified version of the second editing of Nurse as Educator: Principles of Teaching and Learning for Nursing Practice , was developed as a primary resource for undergraduate nursing students and for staff nurses for whom the role of teaching is a significant component of their daily caregiving activities. The scope of the contents is retained, but the discussion is pared down to focus on patients and their family members as the audience of learners and to provide just the essentials of patient teaching.
