   978-032382809Build a sturdy basis within the information and expertise you want to succeed as a nurse! Uniquely tailored for today’s students, Essentials of Nursing, 3rd ⱽBarbara L Yoost Edition presents a fresh, friendly approach that is more approachable than traditional books on nursing basics. To facilitate comprehension, the book presents fundamental information first and then progresses to increasingly more intricate and sophisticated nursing concepts. Practical exercises provide a diverse range of interactive learning, enabling you to apply concepts to real patient care. Even care planning differs, as authors Barbara L. Yoost and Lynne R. Crawford are innovators of conceptual care mapping ― a visual, holistic method of forming clinical judgments and planning patient care. Ultimately, this text offers a simpler, fundamentally different way to learn the nursing profession!
