4.0 out of 5 stars
Making my nursing school just a little bit easier,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clinical Companion for Medical-Surgical Nursing: Patient-Centered Collaborative Care, 6e (Clinical Companion to Medical-Surgical Nursing) (Paperback)
This book has excellent summaries of the conditions, pointing out the important details about them and giving "Patient-centered collaborate care."
This portion has "Assessment" covering things you should assess for with this condition. "Interventions" with nonsurgical and surgical management. It may have a "National patient safety goal" OR "Community-based care" and other areas as well. Whatever applies to that condition. The Appendices have lots of quick reference material. 1. A quick head to toe assessment 2. Technology associated with fluid and electrolyte balance 3. Lab values (normal range and what it means to be high or low 4. Interventions for common environmental emergencies (ie. frostbite, heat stroke, snake bite etc) 5. Chemical and biological agents of terrorism (ebola, botulism, anthrax) 6. Discharge Planning (questions to ask the patient and things to consider doing to help the patient, if applicable) 7. EKG summaries, examples & tips 8. The patient requiring intubation and ventilation. (overview and care details) 9. The patient requiring chest tubes. (overview and care details) 10. Health care organizations and resources (with phone #s and websites) 11. Communication quick reference for spanish speaking patients. There's a drawing of a person with basic body parts in English and Spanish. Then a short dictionary. And the whole thing is fairly small, so it can fit in my clinical bag. I'm going to use this for care plans/concept maps and to learn about conditions for class as well. If I read about a condition we're covering before I go to class, it would be great preparation. then, when I don't have time, I can just study this mini version of our enormous text and get down the most important details. It's also easier to read than the big text. For drawbacks. mainly the limited number of conditions. It's not going to have everything. But if it did it would be too big! So it picked the most common ones--the ones we will know by heart eventually.

Great Tool!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clinical Companion for Medical-Surgical Nursing: Patient-Centered Collaborative Care, 6e (Clinical Companion to Medical-Surgical Nursing) (Paperback)
This is a great pocket sized book that has all of the med-surg diseases/disorders in alphabetical order, along with the patho, interventions, patient education. It has a great, in-depth explanation of Cancer and the various treatments (in plain English). Basically, it summons up the HUGE textbook.
After I remembered I had it (half way through the course - while failing), it was invaluable. I don't believe I would have passed med-surg without it. Along with the Key Points from the Mosby/Evolve/Elsevier website - under Resources, I just studied the Key Points (audio & pdf), this great pocket book and then skimmed the textbook, if needed. Good look.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clinical Companion for Medical-Surgical Nursing: Patient-Centered Collaborative Care, 6e (Clinical Companion to Medical-Surgical Nursing) (Paperback)
This book is a great starting point as well as a cliff notes to the big book., It might be a nice feature to include reference pages within the companion to refer to the big book.
