"Overweight" Bodies, Real and Imagined [Revised Edition]

person Sarah Gilleman

An anthology that gathers open sources on body weight, nutrition and movement, then turns on the readings themselves: how medical research and journalism feed and are fed by social stereotypes about bodies, food, and the choices people make inside a system. It is split into an informational half and a theoretical half to make that argument. By Sarah Gilleman, ROTEL, revised edition 2023, CC BY-NC-SA licence.

The Basics of Health, Wellness, and Fitness

person Jessica Alsup

For anyone who wants to understand health and fitness rather than inherit slogans: goal setting, physical activity and exercise, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, body composition, flexibility, nutrition, stress management, self-care and sleep. It carries self-assessment assignments and reflection prompts, so the reader measures themselves instead of only reading. By Jessica Alsup, ROTEL 2024, CC BY-NC-SA licence.

Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing

person Rebecca Puchkors, Jeanne Saunders, David Sharp

Written for a one-semester psychiatric-mental health nursing course at both two- and four-year institutions, for students specialising in psychiatric nursing and for other health disciplines. It pairs evidence-based practice with concrete communication strategies so students can build a therapeutic relationship with a patient and their caregivers, organised thematically rather than as a list of disorders.

A Guide to the Principles of Animal Nutrition

person Gita Cherian

Each chapter carries a new-terms box and key points. By Gita Cherian, Oregon State University 2020, CC BY-NC licence.

Nursing

Population Health for Nurses

person Jessica Ochs, Sherry L. Roper, Susan M. Schwartz

Prepares nurses to design the interventions, policies and practices that move health equity and outcomes across the whole delivery continuum. The social determinants of health carry the argument, and the perspective stays holistic: health behaviour is read as the ongoing interaction between the person, social factors and the physical environment around them.

Nursing

Pharmacology for Nurses

person Tina Barbour-Taylor, Leah Mueller (Sabato), Donna Paris, Dorie Weaver

Introductory pharmacology for nursing students: 40 chapters in 11 units. The first unit covers the broad principles of drug action, then each body system is worked through with a review of the pathophysiology of the disease processes and the medications used to treat them, so the nurse understands why the drug is on the chart and can give it safely.

Nutrition for Nurses

person Emerald Charity Bilbrew, Jody Vogelzang, Kelli Whittington

Twenty chapters in nine units, written so nutrition can be taught as its own course or folded into an existing nursing unit. It stays evidence-based and assessment-led for pre-licensure students, and builds the clinical judgment to spot when nutrition is the thing driving a patient's outcome.
