LEARNING

The Textbook
The 2nd Edition of Medical-Surgical Nursing continues its groundbreaking approach to helping students make the connections to patient care by fostering an understanding of the relationships between the physiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management of diseases and disorders.

A concise and consistent organization facilitates more efficient learning by focusing on the ‘need-to-know’ to better prepare students for practice, while also helping educators meet the challenges posed by the content of their Med-Surg course. The text also promotes critical thinking and clinical judgment through a unique emphasis on the patient-centered role of the nurse with clear and well-defined nursing coverage. Students will have the skills and confidence to understand what their roles are as nurses, and what they need to do to provide the best care for their patients.

APPLYING—Personalized Learning
