Summary

FOUNDATIONS OF BASIC NURSING 3rd Edition lays the foundation of introductory material for a practical or vocational nursing and focuses on fundamental concepts such as holistic care, legal responsibilities, communication, and client teaching. Step-by-step basic, intermediate and advanced nursing procedures are presented with full color photos and figures further illustrating the skill. New content includes a section on self-concept that considers how the factors affecting self-concept impact client coping and the promotion of physical and mental wellness, and material on spirituality which prepares the nurse to integrate client spiritual considerations into nursing care. Abundant special features, NCLEX style questions, and the loaded new StudyWARE CD-ROM make this an engaging, user-friendly resource.
