About this ebook
The 6th edition of Primary Care: The Art and Science of Advanced Practice Nursing by Lynne Dunphy, Jill Winland-Brown, Brian Porter, and Debera Thomas is structured around a patient-centered, interprofessional framework that balances clinical science with compassionate care. [1, 2]
The textbook is divided into three core pillars: The Art, The Science, and The Practice of advanced nursing. The specific topics and chapters covered across its 82-chapter curriculum include: [1]
1. Caring-Based Nursing: The Art (Foundations of Advanced Practice)
This introductory unit establishes the theoretical, ethical, and clinical baselines for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). [1]
  • The Circle of Caring: Theoretical frameworks of nursing in modern primary care.
  • Health Promotion: Guidelines for preventive health, screenings, and wellness counseling across the lifespan.
  • The Art of Diagnosis & Treatment: Mastering clinical reasoning, diagnostic logic, and formulating care plans.
  • Evidence-Based Practice: Integrating live research data with expert clinical judgment and client preferences. [1, 2, 4, 5]
2. Caring-Based Nursing: The Science (Systems-Based Clinical Medicine)
The largest portion of the book uses a comprehensive body systems approach. Each section covers Common Complaints (to narrow down differentials) and Common Problems (specific disease management). It features expanded Geriatric Considerations and Pediatric/Adolescent Considerations integrated directly into the clinical chapters. [1]
  • Neurological: Management of headaches, seizures, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's.

  • Respiratory: Management of asthma, COPD, acute infections, and chronic restrictive diseases.
  • Cardiovascular: Hypertension, lipid disorders, coronary artery disease, and heart failure.
  • Gastrointestinal & Abdominal: GERD, IBS, hepatitis, and acute abdominal pain triage.
  • Renal & Genitourinary: UTI management, chronic kidney disease, and incontinence.
  • Gender-Specific Health: Comprehensive chapters dedicated specifically to Men's Health Problems and Women's Health Problems (including gynecological and reproductive care).
  • Musculoskeletal: Treatment pathways for osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and sports/acute injuries.
  • Endocrine & Metabolic: Diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, and metabolic syndromes.
  • Hematological & Immune: Anemias, immune deficiencies, and allergic responses.
  • Psychosocial & Behavioral Health: Expanded guidelines on depression, anxiety, substance use, and behavior management.
  • Emergency & Urgent Care: Initial stabilization and fast-track triage of acute injuries. [1, 2, 3]
3. Caring-Based Nursing: The Practice (Professional & Vulnerable Populations)
This unit focuses on the reality of managing a modern clinic, legal boundaries, and serving distinct communities.
  • Care of Vulnerable Populations: A major section new to the 6th edition featuring four chapters focused on specialized attention for marginalized groups.
  • Palliative and End-of-Life Care: Symptom management and comfort care for terminal chronic conditions.
  • Ethical and Legal Issues: Malpractice pitfalls, scope of practice limits, and ethical dilemmas.
  • The Business of Practice: Clinic economics, insurance billing, reimbursement codes, and practice models.
  • Practical Psychotherapy: Utilizing "The 15-Minute Hour" technique to integrate behavioral health into standard medical appointments.
  • Caring for Self: Mitigating burnout and building professional longevity. [1, 2]
