Yoost and Crawford's Fundamentals of Nursing is back for a
second-edition encore! The text that made its name by focusing on
simple language and active learning continues its focus on helping
you truly understand, apply, and retain important nursing
information and concepts. Using a warm and conversational style,
this new second edition guides you towards a basic understanding of
the nursing profession and then logically progresses through the
nursing process and into the safe and systematic methods of
applying care. Each chapter features realistic and complex case
studies and critical thinking exercises woven throughout the
content to help you continually apply what you've learned to actual
patient care. A conceptual care mapping approach - created by Yoost
and Crawford themselves - further your ability to make clinical
judgments and synthesize knowledge as you develop plans of care
after analysing and clustering related patient assessment data. All
of this paired with a wealth of student-friendly learning features

- and effective - way for you to easily master the fundamentals of
