For courses in medical-surgical nursing.
The novice nurse’s guide to whole-patient care
LeMone and Burke’s Medical-Surgical Nursing offers nursing students the skills and knowledge needed to provide safe, evidence-based care to patients with common diseases and disorders. The authors contend that care should address the whole person, not just the malfunction of body systems. Rather than memorize medical conditions, readers build the clinical reasoning skills they need to safely perform simple to complex tasks.
The 7th Edition has a new section on transitions of care and a new chapter linking sleep and health. It is now organized with a more consistent chapter structure for easier navigation.
