Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Person-Centered Care, 10th Edition, is an introductory textbook designed to prepare beginning nursing students for clinical entry. The work applies a holistic, case-based framework that assists students in developing person-centered care methods.

The thematic coverage addresses broad societal and environmental influences on modern healthcare delivery. Content updates integrate current perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion, alongside analysis of how COVID-19 and climate change impact patient outcomes and institutional care settings.

To ensure alignment with contemporary professional guidelines, revisions across the text reflect the 2021 AACN Essentials and the ANA Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice. This design provides beginning nursing students with a foundational study resource and offers nursing educators a structured curricular reference.
