Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts and Practice,5th Edition is a comprehensive textbook that provides a solid foundation in nursing concepts and skills essential to the LPN/LVN role. Written by nursing educator Holly Stromberg, this text emphasizes evidence-based practice and reflects the expanding scope of practice for LPN/LVNs. The book offers comprehensive coverage of common adult medical-surgical conditions, encompassing all body systems and their disorders. Special attention is given to care of older adults, individuals with chronic illnesses, and residents in long-term care settings.
The text is organized into chapters that cover various topics, including anatomy and physiology, assessment, diagnosis, and management of medical-surgical conditions. Each chapter includes detailed explanations, illustrations, and case studies to help students understand the concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios.
One of the key features of this edition is its emphasis on developing critical thinking and clinical judgment skills. The book includes new Next-Generation NCLEX® case studies that provide realistic exam preparation experiences. These case studies cover a wide range of medical-surgical conditions and challenge students to apply their knowledge and skills to make informed decisions.
In addition, the book emphasizes the importance of developing effective communication skills in nursing. Communication boxes provide guidance on how to communicate with patients, families, and healthcare providers, and include examples of effective communication strategies.
Another valuable feature of the book is its use of concept maps and focused assessment boxes. Concept maps illustrate how symptoms, treatments, and side effects of a disorder relate to each other, helping students to understand the complex relationships between different medical conditions. Focused assessment boxes provide step-by-step instructions on how to collect patient data, including history and physical and psychosocial assessment.
Safety alerts provide important information on safety precautions to protect patients, family, healthcare providers, and the public from accidents, spread of disease, and medication-related accidents.
Patient Teaching boxes provide instructions and guidelines for educating patients in self-care, including wound care, medication management, and healthy lifestyle practices.
Elder Care Points address the unique care issues that affect older adults and provide suggestions for providing quality care in this population.
Overall, Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts and Practice,5th Edition is an excellent resource for nursing students who are preparing for the Next-Generation NCLEX-PN® examination and for practicing LPN/LVNs. The book's comprehensive coverage, emphasis on critical thinking and clinical judgment, and practical applications make it an invaluable tool for advancing nursing knowledge and skills.
