The attractive design and presentation of current specialized knowledge through illustrations, case studies, diverse tasks, and further literature references provide guidance for learning and encourage students to engage with the diverse opportunities in the healthcare field. New in the 3rd edition: updated images throughout the work, the latest data from the healthcare sector, adjusted legislation, e.g., regarding nursing education, and an addition on the coronavirus pandemic and the disease pattern of COVID-19 in the chapter "Immune System and Infections.".
