Help each student think like a nurse using a clear, consistent presentation of nursing skillsConsistency and accessibility are essential to student success in the Fundamentals of Nursing course. With its clear, approachable, writing style, Skills in Clinical Nursing sets the foundation for nursing excellence. It provides detailed procedures on the most relevant skills performed by nurses as they enter practice. It includes all common variations and is organized from the simplest to the most complex. This 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. Skills coverage is complemented by critical-thinking insights on using assessment data, and essential guidance on appropriate delegation to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Students will learn to think like nurses as they see how the material they are reading is applied in nursing practice.

Fundamentals of Nursing, Concepts, Process and Practice instills the modern nursing skills needed to be an effective member of collaborative healthcare teams. From management and communication to clinical judgment and assessment, the skills promote nursing excellence in an ever-evolving healthcare system. Step-by-step skills, complemented by equipment lists and rationales, will help you confidently apply techniques and practice sequences.

The fully updated 12th Edition incorporates the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) throughout and reflects current theory and practices for nursing ethics, standards and clinical treatment. End-of-chapter questions will help you apply the CJMM and prepare for the NextGen NCLEX-RN® exam.
