Provide quality nursing care for adults with medical-surgical and psychiatric disorders! Building upon the fundamentals of nursing, Linton's Medical-Surgical Nursing helps you master the role and responsibilities of the LPN/LVN in medical-surgical care. Comprehensive content addresses the special problems of older adult patients, then covers each major disorder by body system, presenting patient problems, goals, outcome criteria, and nursing interventions. As LPNs/LVNs do not formulate NANDA diagnoses, the book is organized by patient problems rather than NANDA nursing diagnoses. You can rely on this essential text to help you build the clinical judgment skills you need to succeed on the Next-Generation NCLEX-PN® examination and in nursing practice.
