This review is from: Saunders Manual of Nursing Care, 1e (Hardcover)

I am a practicing NP and have returned to this guide time and again. This book details all of those familiar and esoteric procedures (which you may have gleaned in med surg notes but were never exposed to) in quick detail. As an NP, I am also constantly referring to this guide, it helps me to apply "the nursing process" in the primary care of my patients: from cerumen disimpaction, to DMII management, to psych disorders, to advanced physical assessment. Don't be fooled by the date of publishing as the guide is very relevant. A definite recommended tool for any RN or NP. (Note: This book will not give you treatment or management protocols - for that use CMDT series, Washington's, or any other medical resource.)
