Covering the lifespan, this three-volume series uses a competency-based model designed to build expertise in the broad principles of nursing practice. As you connect concepts, you’ll also learn the value of clinical reasoning over memorization.

    Volume 2 covers 30 psychosocial, reproductive, nursing and healthcare concepts, with a focus on normal function, interrelationships and alterations. The 5th Edition introduces the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and adds new research on maternity care. All content was reviewed and, where needed, revised in collaboration with nursing educators.
