Summary

CRITICAL THINKING IN THE MEDICAL-SURGICAL SETTING helps students, through the use of case studies, bridge the gap between knowledge and clinical practice. Each case tests the students' content knowledge and helps them practice thinking critically before they face the realities of the workplace. This valuable book is organized into eleven units each focusing on specific body system disorders. Cases are drawn from actual clinical experiences and written by nurses who are experts in a specific area.
