Summary

This is a new and exciting Common Foundation Textbook. It uniquely combines anatomy and physiology with principles of nursing practice to present a unified approach to patient care and the nurses role for those coming to it for the first time.By combining this coverage at introductory level and providing insight and coverage of branches outside of Adult - the book should be perfect for the CFP student.Part 1 introduces the role of the nurse and the current scope of practice (accountability, EBP, EBL etc). Part 2 then looks at each body system in turn. Each chapter begins by presenting the underpinning A&P for the system, using text, diagrams, boxes and clinical presentations. After the systems are explored, a section looking at The Branches will provide the relevant level of insight into each branch required at CFP level.In the final section, there are chapters on First Aid and Pharmacology /Drug Calculations.
