Summary
Provide quality nursing care for adults with medical-surgical and psychiatric disorders! Building upon the fundamentals of nursing, Linton’s Medical-Surgical Nursing helps you master the role and responsibilities of the LPN/LVN in medical-surgical care. Comprehensive content addresses the special problems of older adult patients, then covers each major disorder by body system, presenting patient problems, goals, outcome criteria, and nursing interventions. As LPNs/LVNs do not formulate NANDA diagnoses, the book is organized by patient problems rather than NANDA nursing diagnoses. You can rely on this essential text to help you build the clinical judgment skills you need to succeed on the Next-Generation NCLEX-PN® examination and in nursing practice.
- Special Problems of the Older Adult Patient unit covers the issues and disorders - such as falls, dementia, and incontinence - that are common to gerontologic patients, as this is the primary patient group for whom LPNs/LVNs provide care.
- In-depth pharmacology coverage includes Pharmacology Capsule boxes highlighting critical information for common drugs; Pharmacology and Medications tables outlining classification, use/action, side/adverse effects, and nursing interventions; and a Pharmacology Tutorial covering drug classifications, how drugs work, and nursing responsibilities.
- Nursing care plans illustrate the application of content to the nursing process in realistic scenarios, with critical thinking questions to encourage thoughtful analysis of patient needs and nursing care.
- Introductory chapter for each body system provides a review of anatomy and physiology, relevant diagnostic tests and procedures, and common classifications of the drugs used to manage system disorders.
- Get Ready for the NCLEX® Examination! section at the end of each chapter covers key points and includes review questions and critical thinking questions to help you prepare for class tests and the NCLEX-PN examination.
- Thoroughly updated content throughout includes the latest information on key topics such as infection control and pandemic responses.
