Clinical Reasoning Cases in Nursing, 9th Edition

Develop your ability to make sound clinical nursing judgments via a concept-based, case study approach with Harding & Snyder’s Clinical Reasoning Cases in Nursing, 9th Edition. This time-tested case study resource is highly regarded for its clinically relevant and thought-provoking cases. Approximately150 true-to-life case studies cover all four clinical practice areas -- medical-surgical, pediatric, OB/maternity, and psychiatric-mental health nursing -- all organized to facilitate a conceptual approach to teaching and learning. Each case covers a common patient problem drawn from actual clinical experiences and written by nurses who are clinical experts and includes a strong focus on interprofessional collaboration and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies. Cases include integrated content on pharmacology, nutrition, and diagnostic/laboratory tests to encourage students to think critically about all aspects of patient care. The 9th edition has been updated throughout to reflect the most current standards of clinical practice and concepts and terminology related to the Next Generation NCLEX® Exam (NGN) are introduced in the Preface and integrated throughout to help prepare students for the new NGN. Each case study question is “coded” with one or more of the six NGN “cognitive skills” terms preceding each question. Pharmacology and interprofessional collaboration content have been enhanced throughout. Instructor tools include an Instructor Index, an Instructor Table of Contents, and an enhanced Instructor’s Manual with expanded key/index terms and improved electronic navigation.
