adapt in this ever-changing nursing environment with Ignatavicius,
Workman, and Rebar's Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts for

text. This ninth edition incorporates two emerging and
complementary trends - the Core Competencies for Interprofessional
Collaborative Practice and a more conceptual approach teaching and
learning - areas that will ground you in how to think like a nurse
and how to apply the knowledge you gain from the text to clinical
practice. There are a lot of med-surg nursing texts out there, but
there's only one that combines all the information, concepts, and
on-the-job realities in a way that makes perfect sense: "Iggy!"

evidence-based practice with Nursing Safety Priority boxes,
including Drug Alerts, Critical Rescues, and Action Alerts. UNIQUE!
