Product Description:
This market-leading, user-friendly textbook provides complete coverage of nearly 150 nursing skills in a streamlined, step-by-step, visual format. More than 860 full-color photos and drawings clarify key concepts, bringing important procedures and techniques to life. The nursing process framework helps put nursing skills in the context of care delivery and rationales for key steps help you understand why specific techniques are used.

  • The nursing process provides a consistent framework that helps you understand where skills fit into the broader context of patient care.
  • A section on standard beginning and completion protocols is printed on the inside front cover so that routine steps are not repeated throughout the text.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - cd roms are helpful
The CD-rom series that you can buy as a bundle is the way to go. The cd's put the steps in the book into real time. The CDs make everything easier to visualize.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must Have For Nursing Students!
I was surprised by how much information is in this book! The information is put forth so it is easily understood with many great photos to help also! Each step in the nursing process is broken down and explained with reasoning why each step is needed. This book is a must have for beginning students. It will also help those going from aides to the nursing field. Learn the procedures the correct way the first time and you'll have it made.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best book
This is the best book for nursing students who don't have time to practice for their exams, especially if you are newcomers in USA
