A basic understanding of science and technology is vital to
students in modern nursing education. Recognising that many
students have little or no scientific background when they commence
their studies, the authors of this book have produced a text
written in plain language which is easy to use and non-threatening.
This introductory textbook provides nursing students with the
essential bioscience they need to complete their nursing studies.
The book explains the scientific concepts that are related to all
nursing practices and procedures from the simplest to the most
advanced. The ability to recognise why things are done the way they
are will strengthen confidence in contributing to patient care.
Activities and exercises are included in each chapter to
encourage enquiry and test understanding, with simple and clear
diagrams supporting explanations in the text. At the end of the
chapter there are further questions to try, with answers provided.
A glossary of terms is provided for quick reference and suggestions
for further reading have been included at the end of each
chapter
For anyone who has not studied science before this is an
excellent introduction to the key principles of chemistry, physics
and biology and how they apply to nursing.
