The ideal text for introducing nursing students to the necessary physical science and scientific concepts that is required for them to operate effectively in the clinical setting. This edition has retained the user friendly, accessible and applied approach that has proved so popular with students and lecturers. A clear and engaging writing style ensures student comprehension of even the more difficult scientific and mathematical concepts. Aligned with this, the text assumes no prior knowledge of physics or chemistry. The range of content and depth of treatment have been chosen to provide students with a clear overview of major concepts, without attempting to provide all the underlying scientific principles appropriate for science students. All these features combine to highlight the relevance of science as a whole to nursing practice.
