Foundations of Nursing

Description

An ideal companion text to Adult Health Nursing, this clearly-written, colorful, and attractively-designed resource has all the fundamentals and skills - maternal and neonatal, pediatric, geriatric, mental health, community, and leadership content - needed to educate LPN/LVNs. Used together, these two texts provide all the content covered in the entire LPN/LVN curriculum.

• Skills for a wide range of nursing care are presented in a straightforward, step-by-step format with nursing actions and rationales clearly defined.
• Clinical Pathways are discussed and explained.
• Nursing Care Plans include critical thinking questions and are developed around specific case studies with an emphasis on patient goals and outcomes.
• The nursing process is applied consistently and logically to the discussion of disorders, and appears in complete summary form at the end of applicable chapters.
• Nursing Diagnoses paired with disorder-appropriate Nursing Interventions are screened and highlighted.
• Therapeutic Dialogue boxes focus on communication through real-life examples of nurse-patient dialogue.
• Patient Teaching boxes examine discharge instructions and health promotion for patients and families.
• Home Health Considerations boxes discuss issues facing patients and caregivers in the home care setting.
• Older Adult Considerations boxes bring a gerontologic perspective to the analysis of specific disorders.
• Cultural and Ethnic Considerations boxes teach students about specific cultural preferences and how to address the needs of cultural diversity when planning nursing care.
• Medications tables provide quick access to action, dosage, precautions, and nursing considerations for commonly used drugs.
