Description:

Fundamentals of Nursing: Standards and Practice, third edition, highlights the core themes for the introductory nursing student, including nurse, person, health, and environment. This text provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental nursing concepts, skills, and standards of practice that challenge you to learn and apply critical thinking skills for culturally diverse populations in a variety of environments. Research, evidence-based practice, and emerging practice issues are highlighted to help you prepare for delivering care across a continuum of settings.

Features:

  • Explores the evolution of the profession: includes an in-depth discussion of informatics and its impact on nursing documentation. In addition, new Delegation Tips accompany every procedure, showing you how leadership and management skills are put into practice.
  • Shows the big picture: related concepts are grouped so you can easily see the connection among topics, such as safety, hygiene, and infection control.
  • Encourages critical thinking: new discussion topics at the end of each chapter stimulate classroom discussion and enhance problem solving.
  • Uses current language: NIC and NOC have been added in all Nursing Care Plans as standard language for interventions and outcomes.
  • Presents evidence-based research: boxes featuring the latest research appear in all clinical chapters and in other applicable chapters, such as Nursing Theory.
  • Robust online resources: an Online Companion packed with Concept Maps corresponding to Nursing Care Plans in the book is available to you as well as links to Delmar's WebTutor Toolbox. Delmar is a part of Cengage Learning.
