Medical-Surgical Nursing

Medical-Surgical Nursing: Comprehensive Adult Health Care and Clinical Practice prepares nursing students to care for adult patients experiencing a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions. The textbook links pathophysiology to nursing management, helping learners understand disease processes and translate that understanding into safe, prioritized, and patient-centered care across diverse clinical settings.

Organized by body system, the book addresses the assessment and management of common respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, renal, musculoskeletal, neurological, and immune disorders, along with fluid and electrolyte balance, perioperative care, and pain management. Each topic emphasizes clinical assessment, evidence-based interventions, patient education, and interprofessional collaboration, giving students a consistent framework for planning and evaluating adult health care.

Whether you are building your medical-surgical knowledge or reviewing before clinical rotations, Medical-Surgical Nursing provides the clinical reasoning and organizational tools needed to manage complex patient needs. With its focus on prioritization, safety, and evidence-based practice, this comprehensive guide is an essential companion for nursing school, clinical practice, and NCLEX-RN® preparation.
