Description
Nursing knowledge and practice is a comprehensive textbook which forms an ideal basis for foundation nursing students. The core emphasis
in the organisation and presentation of knowledge in this third edition remains focused on the in-depth knowledge required by nurses
to deliver care in the practice setting.
The chapter contents encompass knowledge that applies to all branches of nursing e.g.
Communication, Confusion, Aggression and Rehabilitation Safety and Risk, Infection Control, Medicines etc. The structure of all chapters
is unique in integrating knowledge from subject areas often taught separately in the nursing curriculum. This enables the foundation
student to integrate this range of knowledge in making decisions about the delivery of nursing care to patients/clients in all fields
of nursing. Exercises are included to encourage reflection on practice and develop critical thinking skills. It also promotes the expansion
of professional knowledge through the development of portfolio evidence.
Building on the outstanding success of previous editions
the authors have drawn extensively on current best evidence, including research, policy and substantial internet based resources, reflecting
UK and international perspectives.
