Basic Nursing: Concepts, Skills & Reasoning integrates foundational nursing principles, evidence-based practice, and hands-on clinical procedures into a single comprehensive volume. The textbook brings together the core content and features of the authors' two-volume fundamentals approach to support students in developing clinical reasoning.
Coverage addresses critical thinking, the nursing process, and developmental considerations across the lifespan. It also explores essential bedside interventions, including vital signs, physical assessment, medication administration, and perioperative nursing.
Built around an instructional model of thinking, doing, and caring, the text incorporates an ongoing multi-cultural family case study alongside digital study resources to support traditional and non-traditional students with diverse learning styles.
