Help your students gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in medical-surgical nursing with this leading textbook! Lewis's Medical-Surgical Nursing, 12th Edition uses a conversational writing style, a focus on nursing concepts and clinical trends, evidence-based content, and basic pathophysiology review to provide the solid foundation required in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. Comprehensive chapters cover topics including nursing management and collaboration, health promotion, acute interventions, and ambulatory care. Summary tables and boxes make it easy to find essential information, and a building-block approach makes even the most complex concepts simple to grasp. In addition to three new chapters, this edition includes a stronger focus on the nursing process, clinical judgment, and preparation for the Next-Generation NCLEX® Examination.

    • Enhanced focus on clinical judgment and preparation for the Next-Generation NCLEX® Exam (NGN) features Applying Clinical Judgment With Multiple Patients boxes with traditional and NGN-style questions.
    • Revised table of contents reflects critical care content throughout the book and adds new chapters including Supporting Ventilation and Caring for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Gender Diverse Patients.
    • Social Determinants of Health chapter focuses on nursing awareness of how patient circumstances affect health outcomes.
    • Clinical problems language replaces NANDA-I / ICNP diagnoses and better aligns with Harding & Hagler’s Conceptual Nursing Care Planning.
    • Case studies — now labeled with Cognitive Skills from the NCSBN’s Clinical Judgment Measurement Model — bring patient care to life, helping students develop skills in clinical judgment, prioritization, delegation, and evidence-based practice.
    • Conceptual focus for the patient experiencing infection or inflammation is included in the Infection chapter and the Inflammation and Healing chapter.
    • Updated content throughout reflects the latest evidence-based guidelines for patient care.
    • Interprofessional care is addressed in special Interprofessional Care sections and Interprofessional Care tables.
    • Streamlined features and content provide an optimized learning experience.
    • Content written and reviewed by leading experts in the field ensures that information is comprehensive, current, and clinically accurate.
    • Bridge to the NCLEX® Examination review questions at the end of each chapter reinforce key content and include both standard and alternate item format questions to help students prepare for the NCLEX exam.
    • Coverage of cultural and ethnic health disparities highlights important issues such as risk factors, economic aspects, and access to health care.
    • Coverage of gerontology and chronic illness is addressed in a separate chapter and highlighted in special gerontologic tables.
    • Pathophysiology maps use flowcharts to outline complex concepts related to diseases, making them easier for students to understand.
    • Focused Assessment boxes provide brief checklists for a practical "assessment on the run" or bedside approach to assessment, and can be used to evaluate the status of previously identified health problems and monitor for signs of new problems.
    • Safety Alert boxes highlight patient safety issues and focus on the National Patient Safety Goals.
