Clinical Reasoning Cases in Nursing (8th Edition) – eBook

Learn to make sound clinical nursing judgments with the concept-based case study approach in Harding & Snyder’s Clinical Reasoning Cases in Nursing, 8th Edition (ePub/PDF). Awarded second place in the 2019 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the Medical-Surgical category, this time-tested case study resource is highly regarded for its clinically relevant and thought-provoking cases. Approximately 150 true-to-life case studies cover all four clinical practice areas ― medical-surgical, pediatric, OB/maternity, and psychiatric-mental health nursing ― all organized to facilitate a conceptual approach to teaching and learning. Every case covers a common patient problem drawn from actual clinical experiences and written by nurses who are clinical experts. It includes a strong focus on interprofessional collaboration competencies. Cases include integrated content on pharmacology, nutrition, and diagnostic/laboratory tests to encourage you to think critically about all aspects of patient care. The 8th edition has been updated to reflect the most current standards of clinical practice, including readiness for practice in the COVID-19 era. Also new to this edition, concepts and terminology related to the Next Generation NCLEX® Exam (NGN) are introduced in the Preface and integrated throughout to help you prepare for the new exam.
