This text has been composed and organized largely in response to market research among teachers and students of nursing. The book contains high quality illustrtions, tinted boxes containing key points, nursing care plans, research abstracts, case histories and self-assessment questions to aid understanding and application to nursing practice. The book is suitable for nurse students on the Project 2000 Common Foundation Programme (CFP - the pre-registration training for novice P2000 nurses), but is is mainly aimed at nurses who, following the basic CFP training, have opted for the "Adult Branch" of the CFP.
