3. Basic Concepts and Skills for Nursing, 5th Edition provides all the fundamental theoretical and applied knowledge that the LPN/LVN nurse must apply in a wider range of care environments, such as the community clinic, doctor’s office, long-term care facility, home, and acute-care hospital setting. With a comprehensive art program and thorough discussion of QSEN, this text covers topics like the physical and psychosocial needs of the patient, critical thinking for problem-solving and clinical judgment, and communication ― all within a robust nursing process framework. The accessible, engaging, and clear writing style appeals to students and instructors, and its rich supplemental package, including NCLEX-PN® review questions, gives students an advantage in mastering fundamentals.
