Learn to make sound clinical nursing judgments with the concept-based, case study approach in Harding & Snyder’s Clinical Reasoning Cases in Nursing, 8th Edition.
Awarded second place in the 2019 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the Medical-Surgical category, 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 â medical-surgical, pediatric, OB/maternity, and psychiatric-mental health nursing â 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 competencies.
Cases include integrated content on pharmacology, nutrition, and diagnostic/laboratory tests to encourage you to think critically about all aspects of patient care.
