Teach students how to problem-solve and think conceptually when performing nursing skills and simulations! Concept-Based Clinical Nursing Skills: Fundamental to Advanced Competencies covers more than 250 nursing skills in an innovative concept-based format. Unlike any other text, Stein and Hollen incorporate an overarching framework of seven critical concepts — accuracy, person-centered care, infection control, safety, communication, evaluation, and health maintenance — to drive home the importance of these key themes in performing nursing skills and developing nursing competencies. This fully referenced and evidence-based text identifies and applies nursing decision-making models, including both the nursing process and the clinical judgment measurement model, to each chapter section. Every chapter includes a detailed case study to help students apply their knowledge to clinical situations and develop their decision-making process. Case-study-based Next-Generation NCLEX®–type questions help strengthen critical-thinking and clinical-judgment skills.
