Fundamentals of Nursing: Human Health and Function
gives
students the knowledge, tools, and problem-solving skills they need
to tackle real-life challenges in today’s fast-paced clinical settings.
In addition to focusing on basics such as how to promote health,
differentiate between normal function and dysfunction, use scientific
rationales, and follow the approved nursing process, this practical
book goes a step further by providing something just as valuable: an
understanding of patient safety, communication, and critical thinking,
all of which successful nurses must demonstrate.
