Overview

LeMone and Burke's Medical-Surgical Nursing offers you the skills and knowledge needed to provide safe, evidence-based care to patients with common diseases and disorders. The authors contend that care should address the whole person, not just the malfunction of body systems. Rather than memorize medical conditions, you'll build the clinical reasoning skills needed to safely perform simple to complex tasks. A narrative case study and nursing care plan for 80 major disorders or types of trauma tie concepts to applications.

The 7th Edition has a new section on transitions of care and a new chapter linking sleep and health. It is now organized with a more consistent chapter structure for easier navigation.
