Craven and Hirnle's Fundamentals of Nursing is a groundbreaking text that maintains a strong emphasis on critical thinking by weaving it throughout each chapter. The chapters open with a clinical vignette followed by critical thinking questions, and include Apply Your Knowledge Checkpoint Boxes, Therapeutic Dialogues Boxes, Collaborating with the Healthcare Team Boxes, and Ethical-Legal Boxes that together build students' decision-making abilities and clinical judgement. This Sixth Edition offers a completely revised skills presentation and a brand-new art program of nearly 1,000 drawings and photographs. It also has an increased focus on patient safety, communication, and evidence-based research in practice.
Now available for purchase with the textbook are a variety of resources that include Craven and Hirnle's Nursing Fundamentals and Procedures Online and Lippincott's Video Series: Nursing Procedures, along with a printed Study Guide and Procedures Checklists.
