Book Description

Nursing Fundamentals introduces students to the foundational principles of nursing practice, including the scope of nursing, effective communication techniques, and caring for diverse client populations. Using the nursing process as a framework, this textbook covers essential concepts such as safety, oxygenation, comfort, spiritual well-being, grief and loss, sleep and rest, mobility, nutrition, fluid and electrolyte balance, and elimination. It also addresses nursing care for clients with integumentary disorders and cognitive or sensory impairments. Each chapter includes interactive learning activities, such as case studies and NCLEX Next Generation-style questions, to help students develop clinical judgment and apply their knowledge to real-world client-care scenarios. Designed for aspiring nurses, this resource provides a solid foundation for delivering compassionate, evidence-based care in a variety of healthcare settings.
