Concepts for Nursing Practice, 4th Edition, written by Jean Foret Giddens, presents a conceptual framework for nursing students evaluating clinical scenarios across diverse care settings. Published by Elsevier, this 640-page textbook organizes nursing knowledge to assist learners in connecting physiological mechanisms, human behavior, and professional practice environments.
The content organizes material into interconnected functional areas to guide theoretical understanding. Initial sections focus on physical processes, including homeostasis, regulation, protection, and movement. The coverage then moves through personal development, individual attributes, personal resources, sexuality, and reproduction, before expanding into mood, cognition, behavior, care competencies, holistic care, and system-level healthcare infrastructure.
To support practical application in clinical scenarios, exemplar selections span the full human lifespan and explicitly designate which specific age groups each exemplar addresses. This structured design assists nursing students in systematically linking theoretical concepts to patients of varying age groups throughout their academic study.
