Product Description

Product Description

The most comprehensive UK Adult Nursing core text, now in its third edition, for the next generation of nurses.

This best selling textbook has been revised and updated to present the knowledge and skills required for competent, evidence-based nursing practice, whilst maintaining the thorough approach that was welcomed in the first two editions.

The book remains the core text of choice for students of adult nursing.

The third edition continues to reflect the issues and challenges for nursing practice in an era of rapid developments in diagnosis, therapy and care. As always, the importance of the patient as partner in care is emphasised.

The three section format which has proved so effective is retained, progressing from a broad systems approach to more detail on specific patient concerns and nursing issues. Ample cross-referencing encourages links between the sections:

. Section One - Care of patients with common disorders
. Section Two - Common patient problems and related nursing care
. Section Three - now entitled - Nursing patients with special challenges.


This text is an invaluable resource, not only for student nurses, but also for qualified nurses, those returning to practice and nurse educators.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible!!!, 6 Mar 2003
By Eleanor Dibben (Stirlingshire Scotland) - See all my reviews
I have been studying my nursing course at university for almost 18 months now and I have referred to this book time and time again for almost everything - ethical issues of consent and autonomy, pathophysiology of everything from heart failure to diabetes and how to do everything from taking a blood pressure to ECGs. This book has helped me with countless essays, reflective cycles, action plans and exams. A bible for any student nurse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and a MUST for any adult nursing student, 29 Sep 2006
By N. Coombes (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is FAB. It goes through normal anatomy and physiology (yet in a more basic and clearer way than most bilogy books) for all body systems. It then goes on to discuss common disorders of the system giving you detailed infomation on how to care for that patient whilst also looking at the pathophysiology of that disorder. I would recommend it to any student within the adult branch ***********
