More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For the Medical Surgical (Med Surg) or Adult Health Course in the undergraduate nursing curriculum.
- Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking in Client Care, Second Edition, by Priscilla Lemone, RN, DSN and Karen Burke, RN, MS directs your students along the pathway that teaches them to think critically, thoughtfully, and realistically about the care of clients. Nursing students and professors alike have praised the authors' clear presentation of rationale-based intervention strategies along with numerous case studies that make the learning process both real and understandable. Through an emphasis on case studies and examples, students develop decision-making skills that help them to provide safe and effective nursing interventions. Because nursing care is organized around prioritized nursing diagnoses with interventions and rationales, students quickly understand the rationale of each action.
- Study Wizard CD-ROM included: an interactive study program with NCLEX review, multiple choice and fill-in questions with rationales for correct and incorrect answers is packaged free with every copy of the text. Companion Website (www.prenhall.com/lemone) provides additional NCLEX Review and critical thinking practice.

Worked for me!!, 16 Oct 2004
By David M. Mcgraw "Richelle McGraw" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Medical-surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking in Client Care (Hardcover)
Although this book can seem a bit daunting at first (I mean, it's over 1600 pages!) it is a wonderful book to have. It was required for my first semester in nursing school and I found myself using it even then to write care plans and find rationales and now that I'm in the med-surg semester I use it even more to refer to pathophysiology of patients conditions, look for tips on what to watch for in every patient that could indicate possible complications, etc. It includes a brief overview of the anatomy & physiology of the following body system and also gives an detailed, indepth step-by-step "how to" for assessments of a patient, including abnormal findings. It's a great tool to have at your fingertips to make you more aware of what to look for in your patients.

Great for Nursing Students and New Grads, 5 Jan 2002
By Linda Budde - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Medical Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking in Client Care (Hardcover)
This was our textbook in nursing school our final year, and I often refer to it now that I am practicing as an RN. It is well organized with great illustrations and care plans. I am shopping for a second one to keep at home - so I don't have to carry it between work and home. I also highly recommend the accompanying paperback reference - especially if you are in clinicals or write care plans. It is easy to carry with you - and you can find nursing dx, interventions etc easily for many disease/conditions.

An Essential Study Guide book for success in nursing!, 20 Dec 2005
By Soaring Heart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Medical-surgical Nursing: Study Guide: Critical Thinking in Client Care (Paperback)
I can't imagine a more helpful study guide. Full of NCLEX test questions, their answers, and an explanation of WHY it is the correct answer (in the back of the book) plus succinct yet complete outlines of the chapters and more; this is a book for students who want to learn the nursing material as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. Truly a gem of a book. Great for study/review the night before the test. I found this especially helpful with my study of Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Balance which is one of the more difficult concepts for me and many others to grasp. Use it along with the textbook, CD-ROM and companion websites for greater learning. Any time you spend in this book is time well-spent. A well-kept secret aid are the study guides to nursing textbooks which, at many schools, are "optional" to purchase, but trust me, they are mandatory for your learning! Good luck future nurses!
Soar!
