Medical Surgical Nursing

The edition of this landmark medical-surgical nursing text retains the comprehensiveness, authority, and in-depth pathophysiology coverage that made earlier editions so effective. However, the 5th Edition features a significant new emphasis on the continuum of medical-surgical nursing--from on-site care through emergency room, intensive, acute, subacute, general, and community care settings. New chapters address essential issues such as aging, acute care, home health care, ambulatory care, and diagnostic testing. Ancillaries include a Study Guide, ExaMaster, Pocket Companion, Instructor's Manual, Test Manual, and Transparencies.
