Medical-surgical nursing made incredibly easy!
This is a transformative time in information management and technology! Multitudes
of resources are available—online, digital books and, of course, the printed
text. The sheer volume of resources can be overwhelming at times. The concept of
information overload dates back as early as 3rd or 4th century BCE and the Roman
philosopher Seneca wrote that the “abundance of books is a distraction.” So, with as
many references available to today’s students and nurses, why choose another medical-
surgical text? The third edition of Medical-Surgical Nursing Made Incredibly
Easy! is a must-have for students, working nurses, and nurses returning to practice.
Medical-surgical nursing is a complex and varied field with many subspecialties
practiced in an ever-expanding variety of settings. Our place is no longer just at the
bedside. Whatever your practice setting, this unique reference has it all in one convenient
volume, complete with common disorders, their etiology, pathophysiology,
clinical manifestations, and updated diagnostics and treatments.
Content begins with the essentials of medical-surgical nursing and the nursing
process, then covers basic concepts of care, including fluids and electrolytes, acidbase
balance, pain management, and perioperative nursing. Thirteen chapters follow,
covering common disorders organized by body systems. Additional chapters include
cancer care, obesity, gerontology care, and end-of-life care. New to the third edition
is complete coverage of blood transfusion reactions, including transfusion-related
acute lung injury.
All content is presented in an easy-to-read format with bullet points highlighting
important data. The disorders chapters begin with a review of anatomy and physiology,
history taking, and physical assessment; followed by diagnostic testing, including
patient preparation, monitoring, and teaching points; and lastly current NANDA
nursing diagnoses. Common disorders include etiology, pathophysiology, clinical
manifestations, diagnostics, treatments, and nursing interventions that include
evidence-based practice recommendations.
