An Introduction to Theory and Reasoning in Nursing, 4th Edition Betty M. Johnson and Pamela B. Webber

An Introduction to Theory and Reasoning in Nursing demonstrates the interconnections between theory, research, and practice. The text helps students understand theory; what it is, how it supports nurses and their practice and how they can use it to answer clinical questions and care for patients more effectively. This updated 4th Edition features new summaries of individual support theories and nursing theories, new Nursing Study boxes, a new research-validated reasoning model, the Clinical Reasoning Plan (CRP) that uses actual nursing case studies, and expanded online instructor’s resources. 978-1-4511-9035-9 / 384 pp / 35 illus / 2014 / £35.95 €42.00

Theoretical Basis for Nursing, 4th Edition Melanie McEwen and Evelyn M. Wills

Easy to read without diluting the complexity of the content, this book focuses on the application of theory, while helping them build skills they will use in developing, analysing, and evaluating theory in their future career. The book covers “shared” theories (from other disciplines in the sociologic, behavioral, and biomedical sciences); organises grand theories based on human needs, the interactive process, and the unitary process; and demonstrates applications of theory in nursing practice, nursing research, nursing administration and management, and nursing education. 978-1-4511-9031-1 / 592 pp / 33 illus, 75 tables / 2014 / £61.00 €72.00
