[edit] ADULT HEALTH NURSING
Presents a contemporary approach to care management of the adult patient. The content of the text is designed to provide equal emphasis to the disease process and the nursing management to lay a solid foundation for medical-surgical nursing practice.
With a strong focus on medical-surgical content, this text avoids the repetitive content found in other core nursing texts and emphasizes a comprehensive, contemporary approach to nursing management of the adult patient with a medical-surgical disorder. Content is presented in a format that gives equal attention to nursing management and associated pathophysiology of the disorder. In addition to care of the patient in the traditional medical-surgical setting, the scope of care has been broadened to encompass home care, long-term care, and rehabilitation. Targeted at the AND and BSN levels, its many boxed features and learning aids facilitate student understanding and application of a broad base of medical-surgical nursing care. The core text presents nursing management of the medical-surgical patient in 12 body system units and two additional units covering pathophysiologic dimensions and adult health nursing and principles of perioperative nursing. Each body system unit begins with a three-part assessment chapter, covering anatomy and physiology, assessment, and laboratory and diagnostic tests. The clinical management chapters include comprehensive discussion of common disorders, with equal coverage of the disease process and management. Nursing management is consistently covered in a student-oriented nursing process format of assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning/expected outcomes, implementation, and evaluation/documentation. Evaluation/Documentation and continuity of care conclude each applicable nursing management section. Features: * Applies a consistent five-step nursing process format to encourage students to develop a practice-oriented, problem-solving approach to patient care. * Includes a separate heading for continuity of care into community setting, which addresses rehabilitation, long-term care, and home care to broaden the scope of nursing practice. * Includes a separate heading for continuity of care that stresses the importance of the nurse's role in promoting the transition from patient care in the acute care setting to rehabilitation, long-term care, and home care settings. * Nursing Care Plans use nursing diagnosis and expected outcomes as a format to guide the student in selecting interventions for patients with specific disorders. New to this edition: * Features full-colour design with colour-coded units for visual appeal and accessibility of material. * Features almost 900 full-colour photographs and line drawings to visually illustrate the most up-to-date physiology and pathophysiology. * Includes new boxes featuring nutrition content to emphasize the importance of proper nutrition in the management of the medical-surgical patient. * Organizes content with a dynamic design that visually separates the nursing management content from the disease process content to aid students in conceptualizing the difference between these two aspects of nursing. * Separates concepts chapters from main text to eliminate redundancy between content covered in the fundamentals course and in the medical-surgical course, content focuses on nursing care of adult patient that students need in their medical-surgical nursing course. * Thoroughly revised and updated content includes latest research, therapeutic techniques, and CDC guidelines to provide clinical currency.
