About the Book

Comprehensive fundamentals textbook for beginning nursing students. A unique feature of this text is the author's emphasis on what she terms: "blended skills . The "blended skills approach to nursing care emphasises that nursing care is holistic and thus nursing skills are more than just procedures; rather, nursing skills fall into four distinct categories: technical, cognitive, ethical/legal, and interpersonal. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes NCLEX-style critical thinking and recall questions and an interactive tutorial on the aging adult. FEATURES: The most student-friendly, eye-catching, consistent, comprehensive text and related suite of products on the market! Immediately following the Case Scenarios at each chapter opener is a section called "Focusing on Blended Skills," which asks the students to apply the four blended skills of nursing to each of the three presented scenarios, allowing students to think critically about the above scenarios. Possible responses are provided on the next page. Promoting Health boxes highlight assessment checkpoints for various healthand wellness issues and include suggestions for patient and self-care. Nursing Process Format provides organisational framework for learning. Through the Eyes of a Student, Through the Eyes of a Patient, and Through the Eyes of a Family Caregiver are popular features that provide personal vignettes that present typical points of view and encourage empathy. Nursing Care Plans with Patient Care Studies found in clinical chapters outline appropriate diagnoses, outcomes, interventions and rationales to help students visualise the overall treatment plan. Nursing Diagnoses and Nursing Interventions are highlighted within NANDA & NIC boxes for quick and easy reference. Nursing skills show both actions and rationales, and highlight special considerations, (e.g. older adult, infant/child, homecare, etc. ). Research in Nursing Boxes highlight recent findings in nursing care Uses across-the-lifespan approach by including Unit 2 (Promoting Health Across the Lifespan), developmental considerations where appropriate in the chapters, and developmental considerations within the skills., e.g. geriatric, paediatric Guidelines for Nursing Care Boxes outline important points to remember in practice, displaying appropriate actions and rationales End of Chapter Pedagogy includes: Developing Critical Thinking Skills questions; as well as multiple-choice study questions entitled "Practice for NCLEX (answers, with rationale are on the next page). Glossary of key terms at the end of the book. NEW TO THIS EDITION: Case Scenarios at chapter openers. These real-world scenarios have a unique design: three medical "charts" are shown with patient photos on them, and a short description of their cases.

"you may remember Linda had a history of high blood pressurea) Learn

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
