FUNDAMENTALS OF NURSING, Fourth Edition is the ideal book to provide comprehensive coverage of fundamental nursing concepts, skills and standards of practice that will challenge introductory nursing students to learn and apply critical thinking skills for culturally diverse populations in a variety of environments. Research, evidence-based practice and emerging practice issues are highlighted to help readers prepare for delivering care across a continuum of settings. This book highlights the core themes of nursing, including nurse, person, health and environment.

Continuing the success of their previous books, authors Linda Williams and Paula Hopper deliver another trend-setting edition that explores and teaches the "why" of medical/surgical nursing. Complex issues are presented in a clear and easy-to-digest way that encourages LPN students to think critically while learning real world nursing care. The new third edition now packs a powerful virtual punch-providing a student CD-ROM. An accompanying workbook is also available that includes a robust activity pack to help build strong study habits in a fun and visual way. A comprehensive and groundbreaking work, "Understanding Medical Surgical Nursing, 3rd edition" sets the new standard for a core med/surg textbook.
