Description

For Medical-Surgical courses in Licensed Practical/Vocational Nursing programs

Answers the question, what do practical vocational nurses need to know and to be able to do in order to deliver safe and effective medical-surgical nursing care? This comprehensive text prepares basic practical/vocational nursing students to care for adult clients with medical or surgical disorders or diseases. With an emphasis on the nursing role, it explains the risk factors, causes, and pathophysiology of common disorders and diseases, and reviews diagnostic tests and medical management of the disorders. A focus on nursing care is presented in a nursing process format–including assessment data to collect, nursing diagnoses with suggested interventions and their rationales, and evaluation data to determine the effectiveness of nursing care.

Unit Wrap-Ups

New To This Edition

Fuller presentation to include 17 new chapters:

11 Disorders Units: new introductory chapters provide A&P, Assessment, & Common Tests by Body Systems
Mental Health unit (4 new chapters plus new assessment chapter) (There are 5 chapters in the unit, but the chapter on substance abuse appeared in 1e)
Older Adult Client chapter in Unit I
Essential Nursing Pharmacology chapter in Unit I
Unit Wrap-Ups encourage students to reflect on topics they’ve read about in the context of important themes across LPN/LVN practice and the NCLEX-PN. Short scenarios and activities call for critical thinking about the unit’s content from a variety of angles.

Themes added to or expanded on:

Geriatrics focus/thread. Focus on Older Adult boxes added (some Population Focus boxes from 1e were converted to this title and some were added) and one new chapter (3) on older adults.
Priorities in nursing care. This head and text was added in the nursing care sections to help students focus care on the priority nursing diagnoses while recognizing that each client will present with individual needs for care.
Emphasis on LPN/LVN roles & responsibilities: delegate, assign and supervise, prioritize; more emphasis on documentation
Highlight presentation of diseases and disorders: Strengthened content presentation of disorders and diseases by inserting headings for: pathophysiology, manifestations, and interdisciplinary care.
Connection between Mental and Medical disorders: The authors have pointed out associations between medical conditions and mental disorders, (e.g., many clients with hepatitis C, cardiac disease, or renal disease have depression; clients with endocrine disorders may have manifestations of bipolar disorder). They’ve also pointed out where a drug has specific effects (adriamycin changes urine color and can have cardiac effects).

Medical Surgical Nursing Care 3e has an even stronger focus on the professional Practical nursing program and is a key component in the LPN/LVN series at Pearson. It has a clear and readable writing style, it provides a strong foundation for understanding common disorders that affect adults. Opening units of the book focus on concepts, issues, and foundational knowledge. The units that follow focus on common diseases and disorders organized by body system. Each unit begins with review of the system’s structure and function, nursing assessment, and commonly used diagnostic tests for disorders of that system.

To facilitate learning, disorder-specific content follows a consistent pattern, beginning with discussion about the disorder, its risk factors, causes, effects on the body, manifestations, and possible complications. Because nurses are integral members of the healthcare team, interdisciplinary care sections include nursing implications for medications, nutritional therapies, surgery and other treatments, including complementary therapies.

Each disorder concludes with nursing care, including priorities of care, health promotion, assessment, nursing care measures, and a section addressing continuity of care to home or the community.

This text provides more depth in common disease processes, their treatment, and related nursing care. Although organized by body systems for clarity, the book retains a nursing focus throughout. Rationales are provided for nursing interventions to help the student understand the “why,” not just the “what.”
