Master the LPN/LVN's role and responsibilities in medical-surgical
nursing! With coverage organized by body systems, Adult Health
Nursing, 9th Edition provides an essential guide to nursing care
for patients with common disorders. Through use of the nursing
process, you will develop clinical judgment skills to assess
patient needs, develop nursing care plans, and plan effective
nursing interventions. Case studies provide practice with critical
thinking and clinical judgment, and new Next Generation NCLEX
(R)-format questions help you apply theory to practice. Written by
nursing educators Kim Cooper and Kelly Gosnell, this text also
helps you prepare for success on the NCLEX-PN (R) examination.
Step-by-step instructions for skills show clearly defined nursing
actions along with the rationales for each. Overview of Anatomy and
Physiology begins each body systems chapter, and the Introduction
to Anatomy and Physiology chapter provides a clear, basic
understanding of the A&P that LPN/LVNs need to know. The
nursing process is applied to the discussion of disorders, and is
summarized at the end of each chapter. Nursing care plans use a
case-study format to emphasize patient goals and outcomes, and
include critical thinking questions at the end of each care plan.
Evidence-Based Practice boxes provide synopses of research articles
that apply to nursing, along with nursing implications for the
LPN/LVN. Safety Alert! boxes cover issues related to safe patient
care in a variety of settings. Coordinated Care boxes promote
comprehensive patient care with other members of the health care
team, focusing on prioritization, assignment, supervision,
collaboration, delegation, and leadership topics. Lifespan
Considerations boxes provide age-specific information for the care
of the patient. Older Adult Considerations boxes provide
age-specific information for the care of the aging population,
which is often the primary focus of the LPN/LVN nurse.
Communication boxes illustrate communication strategies through
real-life examples of nurse-patient dialogue. Patient Teaching
boxes focus on three-way communication among the nurse, patient,
and family members, and include topics such as hospital discharge
instructions. Health Promotion Considerations boxes highlight
information on wellness and disease prevention, including infection
control, diet, and pregnancy. Home Health Considerations boxes
