Concept-Based Clinical Nursing Skills: Fundamental to Advanced
Competencies, 2nd Edition covers more than 250 nursing skills in an
innovative concept-based format. Unlike any other text, Stein and
Hollen incorporate an overarching framework of seven critical
concepts - accuracy, person-centered care, infection control,
safety, communication, evaluation, and health maintenance - to
drive home the importance of these key themes in performing nursing
skills and developing nursing competencies. Every chapter includes
a detailed case study with a concept map to help you apply your
knowledge to clinical situations involving nursing skills. The
nursing process is seamlessly integrated within the skills, and
Next-Generation NCLEX (R) question types strengthen your critical
thinking and clinical judgment skills. This fully referenced text
identifies and applies credible researched-based knowledge that
comprises the knowledge for nursing practice. More than 250 nursing
skills are presented in a step-by-step format with concise
rationales, current evidence, and over 900 outstanding photos and
illustrations. Emphasis on NCLEX (R) preparation is incorporated
throughout with language and concepts that reflect those used on
the exam. Concept-based approach to skills education pairs well
with the Giddens framework. Critical concepts to skills performance
- accuracy, person-centered care, infection control, safety,
communication, evaluation, and health maintenance - are reinforced
throughout the text with a strong emphasis on safety. Detailed case
studies with concept maps in each skill chapter depict patients
with problems that might be experienced in the clinical setting and
are followed by a series of critical thinking questions. Questions
are designed to help you learn how to apply knowledge, synthesize
nursing competencies, and use clinical judgment in nursing
practice. Easy-to-understand, conversational writing style with a
logical organization presents fundamental skills first, then
intermediate acute care skills, and finally advanced skills often
performed in critical care, with an emphasis on safety and
person-centered care. Application of the QSEN competencies includes
critical thinking questions that challenge you to apply a
competency from the QSEN quality and safety framework. Application
of the AACN Essentials competencies includes objectives and
critical thinking questions that allow you to integrate nursing
clinical skills into the broader role of the nurse. Application of
the nursing process sections in each chapter present nursing
diagnoses that include specific examples of client outcomes and
nursing interventions. Lifespan, cultural, and home care
considerations assist you in understanding the diverse needs of
your patients. Lessons from the Evidence boxes highlight current
research that can contribute to evidence-based clinical practice
and identify gaps in knowledge. Lessons from the Courtroom boxes
summarize actual court cases related to the skills in the chapter
to help you understand legal implications. Storytelling-style
"Lessons From" boxes include Lessons from Experience sharing
practical insights from more experienced nurses and Expect the
Unexpected boxes preparing you to anticipate unexpected situations
that could occur and explore appropriate responses. Performing an
Assessment chapter details essential physical assessment skills.
