Product Description

Designed to maximize visual learning, this Sixth Edition features a new art program and an integrated, cohesive, student-focused suite of multimedia products. Brand-new icons direct students to free video clips and online activities. New concept maps walk students through the nursing process for selected case-study patients. Unexpected outcomes are now included in skills descriptions. Like previous editions, the text maintains its unique holistic "blended skills" approach to nursing care and focuses on case-based learning and critical thinking. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes video clips, skills checklists, chapter review questions, an NCLEX(R) alternate-format question tutorial, and a Spanish-English audio glossary. A companion online course is available free with purchase of the text.

College student5
It is a good nursing book and includes nursing assessments skills in some chapters. It also describes factors that are related to infants, pregnant women and older adults in every chapter so you get a sense of factors influencing the lifespan.

So far so good!4
This is my first semester in nursing school and so far I really like the book. The info is presented in a easy to understand manner and I like the added case study type of examples.

Solid Fundamentals book5
I am currently using this text (6th edition) in my nursing 101 class and have found it very helpful. The authors have done an excellent job of putting together a text that is accessible, and interesting. One unique feature, each chapter includes a section that outlines the chapter content in terms of the nursing process (ADPIE)- this is very helpful for studying purposes. Also each chapter includes "focused assessment" boxes that help you to go further in-depth with your head-to-toe assessments. At the end of each chapter NCLEX questions with the rationales are given. The book also includes wonderful nursing skills sections that include the rationales!! All the students in my class have found the additional student set on CD-ROM very helpful especially when preparing for skill validations. This 18 disk set includes all the skills in the book nicely demonstrated. I also recommend the purchase of the study guide as it gives many alternate format questions including NCLEX style questions. I think this text book is a excellent reference for any nurse or nursing student!
