Yoost and Crawford’s Fundamentals of Nursing is back for a second-edition encore! The text that made its name by focusing on simple language and active learning continues its focus on helping students truly understand, apply, and retain important nursing information and concepts. Using a warm and conversational style, this new second edition guides students towards a basic understanding of the nursing profession and then logically progresses through the nursing process and into the safe and systematic methods of applying care. Each chapter features realistic, complex case studies and critical thinking exercises woven throughout the content to help students continually apply what they've learned to actual patient care. The text’s unique conceptual care mapping approach — created by Yoost and Crawford themselves — furthers students’ ability to make clinical judgments and synthesize knowledge as they develop plans of care after analyzing and clustering related patient assessment data. All of this paired with a wealth of student-friendly learning features and clinically-focused content offers up a fundamentally different — and effective — way to ensure your students easily master the fundamentals of nursing.
