Help your students master the LPN/LVN’s role and responsibilities in medical-surgical nursing! With coverage organized by body systems, Adult Health Nursing, 10th Edition, is an essential guide to nursing care for patients with common disorders. Through use of the nursing process, students will develop clinical judgment skills to assess patient needs, develop nursing care plans, and plan effective nursing interventions.
