Master the skills that LPN/LVNs need to care for patients across
the lifespan! Foundations of Nursing, 9th Edition provides an
essential guide to nursing care for pediatric, maternity, adult,
and older adult patients. 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

instructions for more than 100 skills show nursing techniques and
procedures along with the rationales for each. Clear,
