Adult Health Nursing

Description

An ideal companion text to Foundations of Nursing, this clearly-written, colorful, and attractively-designed resource prepares the LPN/LVN for today's medical-surgical nursing practice. Content focuses on the nursing process and nursing actions, addressing contemporary issues that include care of the older adult, cultural considerations, delegation to unlicensed assistive personnel, patient/family teaching, and home/long-term care. Used together, these two texts provide all the content covered in the entire LPN/LVN curriculum.
