Nursing Research: Generating and Assessing Evidence for

Nursing Practice,

10th Edition has been updated to incorporate new

methodological advances and, to the extent possible, substantive

examples used to illustrate concepts will be from articles published

in 2013 to 2015. The textbook package will include the book itself, a

Resource Manual, and a digital Toolkit with high-quality forms and tools

(in Microsoft Word) that new researchers can modify or use directly.

Additional useful material will be added to the Toolkit, including links

to open-access papers on the topic covered in each chapter. A valuable

ancillary package is available for instructors and students via thePoint.

They include PowerPoint slides with relevant tables and figures, test

bank, journal articles, case studies, critical thinking exercises, strategies

for effective teaching, internet resources, and glossary.
