Fundamentals of Nursing: Human Health and Function, 8th Edition , helps you efficiently foster the critical thinking and clinical communication skills students need to succeed throughout the nursing curriculum and today's challenging clinical settings. This big-picture approach immerses students in a proven nursing framework that clarifies key capabilities, with an emphasis on the growing importance of clinical safety and research-based practice that helps students ensure patient safety and effect the best possible clinical outcomes.
Highlights of the 8th Edition:
A timely new chapter --Chapter 4, The Nurse's Role in Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety--responds to multiple imperatives in today's health care, helping students understand systems that promote exceptional care in a complex environment. Case scenarios that open each chapter show nurses thinking holistically and reflecting on critical thinking questions. All-new, richly illustrated concept maps , ideal for visual learners, apply the nursing process and critical thinking to the chapter-opening case scenarios. PICO (patient/problem, intervention, comparison, outcome) displays illustrate examples of a structured, evidence-based way to find answers to clinical questions related to the chapter-opening case scenarios. Concept Mastery Alerts improve students' understanding of potentially confusing topics, as identified by Misconception Alerts in Lippincott's Adaptive Learning Powered by PrepU. Apply Your Critical Thinking features guide students to explore concepts and situations more deeply. Answers in Appendix B allow students to check their thinking. Patient Care Plans and Procedures sections (including some newly added procedures) help students transition from the classroom to nursing practice. NCLEX-style Review Questions prepare students for success on the NCLEX exam. A robust ancillary package is provided for instructors and students .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"The eighth edition of Fundamentals of Human Health and Function continues to focus on providing a framework for acquiring knowledge and putting it to work by teaching students to prioritize information, work in a logical sequence, and process data calmly and efficiently. It strives to teach students how to think about each case in a meaningful, systematic way. This book breathes life into theoretical principles and puts students in the mindset of a successful nurse. The framework approach gives students the tools to tackle real-life challenges in a clinical setting. The Nursing Process is the foundation of this book. By learning to identify normal function, assess risk or dysfunction, envision potential outcomes, plan and provide for interventions and evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment, students will be equipped to stay on track while customizing care for each patient. Chapters open with a case study and include critical thinking questions, Apply Your Knowledge Boxes, and Ethical-Legal Boxes to build students' decision-making abilities and clinical judgment. Collaborating with the Healthcare Team Boxes and Patient Teaching Boxes demonstrate the importance of communication in these clinical scenarios. While all books list critical thinking exercises as a feature, most books like Potter and Kozier include these questions at the end of the chapter. Craven weaves critical thinking into most activities throughout the chapter so students are constantly being challenged to think like a professional nurse."-- Provided by publisher.
