This book presents a thorough overview of the concepts that provide the framework for medical-surgical nursing, including the nursing process, nursing assessment, adult development, collaborative care, patient teaching, and critical thinking. A strong emphasis on pathophysiology and a body-systems approach encourages understanding of the disease process and accurate assessment findings. The easy-to-follow, full color design and comprehensive and logical format promote student learning of essential nursing concepts.
This edition's enhanced ancillaries include online case studies, over 6,000 NCLEX®-style review questions, and numerous three-dimensional animations of key concepts in anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology.
