Medical Surgical Nursing Care 3e has an even stronger focus on the
professional Practical nursing program and is a key component in
the LPN/LVN series at Pearson. It has a clear and readable writing
style, it provides a strong foundation for understanding common
disorders that affect adults. Opening units of the book focus on
concepts, issues, and foundational knowledge. The units that follow
focus on common diseases and disorders organized by body system.
Each unit begins with review of the system's structure and
function, nursing assessment, and commonly used diagnostic tests
for disorders of that system. To facilitate learning,
disorder-specific content follows a consistent pattern, beginning
with discussion about the disorder, its risk factors, causes,
effects on the body, manifestations, and possible complications.
Because nurses are integral members of the healthcare team,
interdisciplinary care sections include nursing implications for
medications, nutritional therapies, surgery and other treatments,
including complementary therapies. Each disorder concludes with
nursing care, including priorities of care, health promotion,
assessment, nursing care measures, and a section addressing
continuity of care to home or the community. This text provides
more depth in common disease processes, their treatment, and
related nursing care. Although organized by body systems for
clarity, the book retains a nursing focus throughout. Rationales
are provided for nursing interventions to help the student
understand the "why," not just the "what."
