Synopsis

Contemporary is not only the first word in the title, but a key descriptor in this book's approach. The first new med-surg book to enter the market in years, Contemporary Medical-Surgical Nursing is a new and exciting text that presents comprehensive nursing care of the medical-surgical client as opposed to simply treating conditions and illnesses. Written with a focus on acute and collaborative care, this text is designed to be relevant and pragmatic in its approach by providing learner-oriented, logically organized information. It addresses key topic areas of clinical care, highlighting contemporary nursing approaches such as health care trends, health costs and benefits, law and ethics and cultural considerations. Contemporary Medical-Surgical Nursing helps bridge the gap from nursing student to professional by providing learners with the knowledge and skills that support today's nursing practice. Available as one comprehensive book or in two volumes and includes free interactive CD-ROM and online Web resource for instructors and students!

About this title

Review:

"This draft and proposal contains very appealing ideas and concepts. It is an excellent idea to create a text with not only the pathology of a system, but to include the assessment of the system together. I applaud the design efforts of this text and look forward to seeing a finished publication for evaluation and inclusion into our program."

Synopsis:

"Contemporary Medical Surgical Nursing" is not only the first word in the title, but a key descriptor in this book's approach. The first new med-surg book to hit the market in 15 years, this is an acute care focused nursing text with great key features that address the topics of pertinent clinical care in acute care settings. It is meant to be very pragmatic and relevant to the 68 chapters of acute care topics. Its more traditional organization of nursing care management blended with a body systems' assessment approach should appeal to a broad array of programs. The book is designed to address key topic areas of clinical care, with the breadth of content highlighting contemporary nursing approaches including health care trends, health costs and benefits, law and ethics and cultural considerations.
