Description
The new edition of Fundamentals of Nursing gives you complete coverage of the nursing principles, concepts, and skills that form the foundation
of a solid nursing education. This engaging text features streamlined procedures that focus on the essential information you need to
know to provide safe and effective care. Each clinical chapter begins with a case study and an overview of key nursing diagnoses, and
then assessment, planning, interventions, and evaluation are presented within the context of that case study and those key diagnoses.
A new Companion CD provides a variety of activities and review questions to help you master important concepts.
