Provide quality nursing care for adults with medical, surgical, and
psychiatric disorders! Building upon the fundamentals of nursing,
Medical-Surgical Nursing, 8th Edition helps you master the role and
responsibilities of the LPN/LVN in medical-surgical care. The text
addresses the special problems of older adult patients, then covers
each major disorder by body system, presenting patient problems,
goals, outcome criteria, and nursing interventions. As LPN/LVNs do
not formulate NANDA diagnoses, the book is organized by patient
problems rather than NANDA nursing diagnoses. Written by noted
educators Adrianne Dill Linton and Mary Ann Matteson, this text
helps you build the clinical judgment skills you need to succeed on
the Next Generation NCLEX-PN (R) examination and in nursing
practice. UNIQUE! Older Adult Patient unit covers the special
problems and disorders - such as falls, dementia, and incontinence
- that are common to gerontologic patients, as this is the primary
patient group for whom LPN/LVNs provide care. UNIQUE! In-depth
pharmacology coverage includes Pharmacology Capsule boxes
highlighting critical information for common drugs, Pharmacology
and Medications tables including classification, use/action,
side/adverse effects, and nursing interventions, and a Pharmacology
Tutorial on the Evolve website covering drug classifications, how
drugs work, and nursing responsibilities. Nursing care plans
illustrate the application of content to the nursing process in
realistic scenarios, with critical thinking questions to encourage
thoughtful analysis of patient needs and nursing care. For each
body system, an introductory chapter provides a refresher review of
anatomy and physiology; to minimize repetition in subsequent
chapters, relevant diagnostic tests and procedures are described;
and common classifications of the drugs used to manage system
disorders are introduced. Get Ready for the NCLEX (R) Examination!
section at the end of each chapter covers key points and includes
review questions and critical thinking questions to help you
prepare for class tests and the NCLEX-PN examination. Put on Your
Thinking Cap boxes ask you to analyze and apply concepts to
clinical situations. Patient Teaching boxes provide nursing
instructions, stressing the role and responsibility of the LPN/LVN
in patient education. Health Promotion Considerations boxes
highlight timely wellness and disease prevention topics. Nutrition
Considerations boxes emphasize the role nutrition plays in disease
and holistic nursing care. Complementary and Alternative Therapies
boxes break down nontraditional therapies along with precautions
and possible side effects. Coordinated Care boxes highlight the
team approach to patient care, helping nurses prioritize tasks and
assign them safely to assistive personnel. Cultural Considerations
boxes promote understanding of the needs of culturally diverse
patients when planning nursing care. Key terms include phonetic
pronunciations and make learning easier with terms listed at the
beginning of each chapter, shown in color at first mention in the
text, and defined in the glossary. NEW! Next-Generation NCLEX (R)
case studies and new-format questions help you prepare for the
licensure examination. NEW! Discussion of the NCSBN Clinical
Judgment Measurement Model helps in developing the decision-making
skills needed to plan effective nursing interventions. NEW! Content
on disorders is thoroughly updated, including infection control and
pandemic responses.
