Publisher's Synopsis
Helping each student think like a nurse using a clear, consistent presentation of nursing skills.
With its clear, approachable, writing style, Skills in Clinical Nursing sets the foundation for nursing excellence. It presents the 161 most important skills performed by nurses, including all common variations, organized from the simple to the more complex. The 9th edition has been revised and updated to reflect current practice, responding to extensive feedback from clinical nurses, market surveys, and the authors' own teaching and practice experience. Each chapter contains concise introductory material, placing skills in the context of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, and clearly explaining their purpose and rationale. Each skill is then presented in exceptional step-by-step detail, with over 800 illustrations. Students will learn to think like nurses as they see how the material they are reading is applied in nursing practice.
