Product Description

Review
"This core text is an invaluable resocurce for nursing students, qualified nurses, those returning to practise and nurse educators. The new edition has been revised and updated to present the knowledge and skills required for competent, evidence-based nursing practise. As always, the importance of the patient as partner in care is emphasised." Nursing Standard Vol 20 No 32

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 Best Buy, 12 Jul 2003
By A Customer
This is an excellent book through and through and truly the best i have brought in my training.
It covers every area the adult nurse ever needs to cover and is invaluable as an introduction and also indepth reference book into patient care and conditions.
I have refered to it many times in the course and used it in all my assignments. My friends have also used it many times and i would highly recommend it to any nursing student.
A really good buy for £30 !! money well spent an investment for both in your training and after..

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS YOUR NURSING BIBLE, 6 Jan 2005
By S. Murray "Nurse_Sooz" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book is useful in all ways possible. It's great for referring to when needing help practically as well as lending a real helping hand when writing essays and revising. It covers all aspects of nursing care, including disease pathology, nursing implications and possible treatments. It's really good to pick up and read and it's brilliant for referencing purposes. You will not be dissapointed with this book. It's only draw-back is the weight of it!
