Gain the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in
medical-surgical nursing! Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing, 12th
Edition uses a conversational writing style, a focus on nursing
concepts and clinical trends, evidence-based content, and basic
pathophysiology review to provide the solid foundation needed in a
rapidly changing healthcare environment. Comprehensive chapters
cover topics including nursing management and collaboration, health
promotion, acute interventions, and ambulatory care. Summary tables
and boxes make it easy to find essential information, and a
building-block approach makes even the most complex concepts simple
to grasp. Written by a team of distinguished educators led by
Mariann M. Harding, this edition adds three new chapters and a
stronger focus on the nursing process, clinical judgment, and
preparation for the Next-Generation NCLEX (R) Examination. Content
written and reviewed by leading experts in the field ensures that
information is comprehensive, current, and clinically accurate.
Interprofessional care is addressed in special Interprofessional
Care sections and Interprofessional Care tables. Bridge to the
NCLEX (R) Examination review questions reinforce key content and
include both standard and alternate item format questions to help
you prepare for the NCLEX exam. Coverage of cultural and ethnic
health disparities highlights important issues such as risk
factors, economic aspects, and access to health care. Coverage of
gerontology and chronic illness is addressed in a separate chapter
and highlighted in special gerontologic tables. Pathophysiology
maps use flowcharts to outline complex concepts related to
diseases, making them easier to understand. Focused Assessment
boxes provide brief checklists for a practical "assessment on the
run" or bedside approach to assessment, and can be used to evaluate
the status of previously identified health problems and monitor for
signs of new problems. Safety Alert boxes highlight patient safety
issues and focus on the National Patient Safety Goals. Nutritional
Therapy tables summarize nutritional interventions and strategies
for promoting healthy lifestyles. Promoting Population Health boxes
summarize health care goals as they relate to specific disorders
such as cancer and diabetes, and identify strategies for health
promotion. Drug Therapy tables and Drug Alerts highlight important
safety considerations for key drugs. Check Your Practice boxes
challenge you to think critically, analyze patient assessment data,
and implement appropriate interventions. Coverage of genetics
includes a separate chapter on genetics, Genetics in Clinical
Practice boxes covering disorders and genetic testing, risk alerts,
and links to disorders. Focus on patient and caregiver teaching
shows how you can help patients and caregivers learn to manage
chronic illnesses and conditions. Ethical / Legal Dilemmas boxes
introduce key topics such as informed consent, advance directives,
and confidentiality. Enhanced focus on clinical judgment and
preparation for the Next-Generation NCLEX (R) Exam (NGN) features
Applying Clinical Judgment With Multiple Patients boxes with
traditional and NGN-style questions. Revised table of contents
reflects critical care content throughout the book and adds new
chapters including Supporting Ventilation and Caring for Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Gender
Diverse Patients. Social Determinants of Health chapter focuses on
nursing awareness of how patient circumstances affect health
outcomes. Clinical problems language replaces NANDA-I / ICNP
diagnoses and better aligns with Harding & Hagler's Conceptual
Nursing Care Planning. Case studies - now labeled with Cognitive
Skills from the NCSBN's Clinical Judgment Measurement Model - bring
patient care to life, helping you develop skills in clinical
judgment, prioritization, delegation, and evidence-based practice.
Conceptual focus for the patient experiencing infection or
inflammation is included in the Infection chapter and the
Inflammation and Healing chapter. Updated content throughout
reflects the latest evidence-based guidelines for patient care.
Streamlined features and content provide an optimized learning
experience.
