Manual of Medical-Surgical Nursing Care

Manual of Medical-Surgical Nursing Care is a thorough, portable, and clinically-focused reference designed to enable both staff and student nurses to plan and evaluate care of the medical-surgical patient. Content is organized by body system and follows a clear and consistent format. Each disorder is covered with a quick review of pathophysiology, physical assessment, diagnostic testing, collaborative management, and patient/family teaching and discharge planning data. The order in which information is presented for each condition provides a hierarchy of data that enables the nurse to make nursing diagnoses and plan interventions specific to each patient.
