| Abstract
|
:
|
"This is a new edition of a classic text on the "how to's" of measurement. Basic principles and terminology are covered along with practical information on how to design and implement measurement instruments in nursing and health care. The book is for nurses in a variety of roles, including student, educator, clinician, researcher, administrator, and consultant. New to this edition is more information on qualitative data collection, physiologic measures, and nonclassical measurement approaches."--Jacket.
