Nurses today must grow and evolve to meet the demands of a dramatically changing healthcare system. Kozier & Erb's Fundamentals of Nursing provides a core foundation of contemporary professional nursing so students can succeed in today’s environment. From the integral aspects of nursing, such as managing and communicating, to assessing health and client care, the text sets the foundation for nursing excellence. To help students develop their clinical-reasoning abilities, QSEN features throughout the 11th Edition draw connections to actual nursing practice. Students will learn to think like nurses as they see how the material they are reading is applied in nursing practice. Other updates include new examples, additional photos, and the latest standards of care.
