Test-taking tips and strategies prepare you for the NCLEX-RN® exam, and discussions of communication and management issues prepare you to succeed in the workplace. In this edition, well-known educator JoAnn Zerwekh and coauthor Ashley Zerwekh Garneau provide the latest information on nursing issues and trends including health care reform, patient safety, collective bargaining, and emergency preparedness.

    • Thorough coverage prepares you for a professional nursing career by including all of the most important issues faced by the new nurse.
    • An engaging presentation features lively cartoons, chapter objectives, bibliographies, and colorful summary boxes.
    • Critical Thinking boxes are located in every chapter, with relevant questions and exercises to apply what you have learned to clinical practice.
