Give your students a solid foundation in nursing — from basic concepts to essential skills to development of clinical judgment! Potter & Perry’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 11th Edition seamlessly integrates exceptional teaching and learning resources in a guided approach that extends all the way through your Fundamentals curriculum. The text’s comprehensive coverage emphasizes critical thinking, clinical judgment, evidence-based practice, nursing theory, and patient-centered care in all settings. Illustrated, step-by-step guidelines make it easier for students to learn important skills, and care plans are presented within a nursing process framework that is coordinated with clinical judgment.
