Build the nursing knowledge and skills you need to care for
patients of all ages! Combining two leading LPN/LVN textbooks into
one volume, Foundations and Adult Health Nursing, 9th Edition
covers the fundamental skills and medical-surgical content
essential to providing quality care for patients across the
lifespan, including pediatric, maternity, adult, and older adult
patients. 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 more than 100 skills show clearly defined nursing
actions along with the rationales for each. Clear,
easy-to-understand coverage of skills across the lifespan includes
maternity, pediatrics, adults, and older adults. 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.

chapter, and the Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology chapter
