Nursing

For courses in Medical Surgical Nursing.

Students and instructors alike love this text's organization and clear presentation of patient care, with its consistent format and multiple methodologies for student learners—narrative text, boxes, tables, graphics, photographs. The text is built around functional health patterns, a framework used by many schools of nursing. With a focus on developing decision-making skills, the authors encourage students to think critically, thoughtfully, and realistically through an abundance of case studies and examples. Because nursing care is organized around prioritized diagnoses with interventions and rationales, students quickly understand the rationale of each action.

***What’s New in the Fourth Edition***

We carefully reviewed the third edition of this book to ensure current content and the necessary knowledge to educate nurses for the future. New features of the fourth edition include

• Chapter objectives are now presented as Learning Outcomes and Clinical Competencies.  Learning Outcomes focus on knowledge acquisition, while Clinical Competencies focus on the application of that knowledge in clinical experiences.
• “Collaborative Care” is now called “Interdisciplinary Care” to reflect current thinking in nursing education.
• Key terms are listed at  the beginning of each chapter, and these terms are then printed in bold type and defined at the first occurrence within text.  These terms can also be heard on the audio glossary on the DVD and the Companion Website, making it easy for students to learn essential vocabulary.
• We added new chapters to make the book absolutely current and clinically relevant:
  • Chapter 7:  Nursing Care of Clients Experiencing Disasters
  • Chapter 8: Genetic Implications of Adult Health Nursing Care
  • Chapter 23: Nursing Care of Clients with Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders
  • Chapter 38: Nursing Care of Clients with Ventilation Disorders
  • Chapter 39: Nursing Care of Clients with Gas Exchange Disorders
• We divided the Assessment chapters that begin each body system unit to provide students with a more structured, easy-to-use overview for assessment of that body system. The new format includes:
  • A list of needed equipment at the beginning of each chapter, so students can prepare for clinicals.
  • The steps of the physical assessment are presented in an easy-to-read two-column format, making this section easier for instructors and students to use. 
• The assessment section of the chapter is divided as follows:
  • Diagnostic Tests One or more diagnostic test tables that are essential for nursing students to understand.  The tables include the name of the test, the purpose and description of the test, and related nursing care for the test. 
  • Genetic Considerations A box that includes information to assist in collecting genetic-based information during the health history and physical assessment.
  • Health Assessment Interview that not only summarizes and prioritizes the questions to ask, but also provides an interview guide based on Functional Health Patterns.
  • The Physical Assessment section in easy-to-read 2-column format that demonstrates how to perform the assessment, what techniques to use, how to position the client, and a table of normal age-related findings for the older adult. 
• An end-of-unit review for each of the 15 units, called Building Clinical Competence, to tie the unit information together and apply to specific cases. The feature includes:
  • a functional health pattern expansion and unit tie-in;
  • a clinical scenario involves a nursing priority exercise, which is an important concept for nursing instructors today, and includes a variety of questions that allow students to apply different skills
  • a case study with concept map that further synthesizes material using the nursing process. Concept maps are used in many programs, and programs want students to have opportunities to use them.  The student DVD-ROM includes a concept map building activity that is tied to this section.

Description | Sample Chapters | First Day of Class Demo

Priscilla LeMone, RN, DSN, FAAN

Priscilla LeMone  spent most of her career as a nurse educator, teaching ­medical-surgical nursing and pathophysiology at all levels from diploma to doctoral students. She has a diploma in nursing from Deaconess College of Nursing (St. Louis, Missouri), baccalaureate and master’s degrees from Southeast Missouri State University, and a doctorate in nursing from the University of ­Alabama-Birmingham. She is retired as an Associate Professor Emeritus, Sinclair School of Nursing, University of ­Missouri-Columbia; but continues to keep up-to-date in nursing as an author of nursing textbooks.

Dr. LeMone had numerous awards for scholarship and teaching during her over 30 years as a nurse educator. She is most honored for receiving the Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence from the University of ­Missouri-Columbia, the Unique Contribution Award from the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, and for being selected as a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing.

She believes that her education gave her solid and everlasting roots in nursing. Her work with students has given her the wings that allow her love of nursing and teaching to continue through the years.

Recently married after 8 years of widowhood, Dr. LeMone lives in Ohio..When she has time, she enjoys traveling, gardening, and reading fiction.

Karen Burke has practiced nursing in direct care and as a nurse educator and administrator. She is currently the Education Consultant for the Oregon State Board of Nursing. In this role, she serves as a consultant to new and existing nursing education programs in the state. Her work with the Board also involves evaluating and proposing policies and regulations for nursing practice and education. One of her favorite parts of this position is speaking with nursing students about entering the profession and the scope and standards of nursing practice.

Ms. Burke entered nursing with a diploma from Emanuel Hospital School of Nursing in Portland, Oregon, later completing baccalaureate studies at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and a master’s degree at University of Portland. She retired as the Director of Health Occupations at Clatsop Community College in Astoria, Oregon, after helping initiate and develop the nursing program, as well as expand it to a distant site using on-line instruction. She currently is a member of the steering committee for the Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education, a partnership between OHSU and Oregon community colleges to deliver a shared baccalaureate nursing curriculum throughout the rural state. She also is actively involved in the Education Committee of the Oregon Nursing Leadership Council, helping identify strategies to recruit and retain nursing faculty, develop innovative clinical models, and provide policy guidelines for nursing education programs in the state. In addition, Ms. Burke is working with nursing leaders and educators to identify and develop strategic plans to more effectively educate and use practical nurses (LPNs) in Oregon. She is co-author of another text, Medical-Surgical Nursing Care (2^rd edition) with Priscilla LeMone, Elaine Mohn-Brown, and Linda Eby.

Ms. Burke strongly values the nursing profession and the importance of providing a strong education in the art and science of nursing for all students preparing to enter the profession. Her diverse experience as a nursing student, clinical nurse, and nurse educator and administrator has prepared her to relate to nursing students at all levels and in diverse programs.

  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  For undergraduate courses in Community Health Nursing.

   

  The community/public health nurse is charged with promoting the health of populations, not only the individuals within populations.  This requires advocacy on the part of the nurse, for entire communities as well as for the individuals within.  The fifth edition of Community Health Nursing by respected leader and educator Mary Jo Clark approaches community health nursing from an aggregate perspective, clearly showing how nurses can serve to improve the health of populations within a community by functioning as advocates on many levels.  To illustrate how that can be manifested, real-life vignettes begin every chapter, showing students what advocacy looks like in the public health context.  In each chapter, critical thinking exercises are woven throughout in boxed features.

  Together, pregnancy and childbirth are a normal life process — a process in which the entire family has a vital role to play. This philosophy has shaped Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing Care through 7 editions, and continues to serve as a guiding theme. With a strong focus on community based nursing and client education, this text emphasizes the importance of collaboration between nurses and childbearing families. It is the foremost goal of this book to inspire nursing students to become expert caregivers and to teach them that working with childbearing families requires a combination of knowledge, intuition, and technical skills.
