This medical-surgical text looks outside the acute care setting to expanding the role of the LPN/LVN in long-term care and the community. It covers nursing care of adults and the elderly with medical, surgical and psychiatric disorders. The first three units present patient care concepts, the health care system, the older patient, and physiologic responses to illness and medical-surgical care. These units should provide students with a solid foundation in pathological processes and medical-surgical interventions. Special attention throughout is given to gerontologic care, including separate chapters on falls, immobility, confusion and incontinence. Other units thoroughly cover psychiatric disorders, substance abuse and long-term care, as well as cancer and other medical-surgical disorders.

I find this book to be an outstanding resource for consulting on health problems. It has an excellent index which makes it easy to access information on a variety of health issues, including symptoms and treatment. It is written in terms easily understood, and it has been of great use to me on many occasions.

Page Turner,
By amaebius@hotmail.com (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introductory Nursing Care of Adults (Hardcover)
This set of books, especially the accompanying wookbook, is a nursing manual without parallel. It is truly a page turner that kept my interest from anatomy to zoology. And who's the genius that came up with those muliple choice? Bravo.

This review is from: Introductory Nursing Care of Adults (Hardcover)
I found this book to be exactly what I needed for introductory nursing care of adults. The diagrams were good and the study guide was truly amazing. If you need to care for adults then buy this book.
