Editorial Review:

Now in a fully revised, updated Fifth Edition, this text helps nurses understand wellness and illness as family-centered events. Using a nursing process framework, the book presents information in a clear, reader-friendly fashion. Each chapter begins with Key Terms, Learning Objectives, and a Case Study and ends with Key Points and Critical Thinking Exercises. New to this edition are Focus on Nursing Care Planning: Multidisciplinary Care boxes, which guide nurses in working with other healthcare providers. Other features include NIC and NOC, Focus on Pharmacology, Focus on Communication, and Assessing the Client boxes, "What If" questions, and illustrated nursing procedures.

Some incorrect answers

This book was helpful as a guide to the textbook. However, many of the study guide questions has incorrect answers, leaving me to second guess myself for all of them. I later discovered there was a revised version of this book, perhaps due to the problems stated above.

The only positive about that was the fact that I had to research all of the questions, making it another study session. For those who want concrete clear questions and answers, you may want to find the revised version.

Okay

This book is good in it's coverage of maternal and child nursing. The problem with this book is that it is quite verbose in its descriptions and instructions. This book could be as effective with less lettering. It would also be nice if a paperback edition was available.

Great Book

I ordered this book on Monday and I think it arrived by Thursday or Friday with basic ground shipping. I needed this book for Nursing school and I had it in plenty of time.

nurse student

This book is easy to understand and manageble. It gives you important clues throughout the chapters, summarizing key points. I stringly recommend this book not only for nurse students but also as a reference book.
