Adult Health Nursing Book

Adult Health Nursing provides a detailed overview of only the anatomy and physiology and medical-surgical content needed to educate LP/VNs. It is designed to correlate with Foundations of Nursing, by the same author team. Together these two full-color texts provide the complete content needed in an LP/VN curriculum. The texts are available separately, as a package, or, new with this edition, together as one volume. * Overview of Anatomy and Physiology begins all body systems chapters and Chapter 1: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology provides a clear, basic understanding of the A&P that LPN/LVNs need to know. * Objectives are separated into Anatomy & Physiology and Medical-Surgical categories. * Assessment is separated into Subjective and Objective Data. * Nursing Process is applied to the discussion of disorders and appears in a summary form at the end of each chapter. * Nursing Care Plans, presented in a case-study format, emphasize patient goals and outcomes and include Critical Thinking Questions at the end of each care plan. The answers are included in the Instructor?s Resource Manual. * Nursing Diagnosis boxes, screened and highlighted in the text, include nursing diagnoses for specific disorders paired with the appropriate nursing interventions. * Skills are presented in a step-by-step format with clearly defined nursing actions and rationales.Read More
