Lewis’s Medical Surgical Nursing has been redesigned as per the syllabus of South Asian nursing institutions. Filled with examples, case studies, photographs, tables, exercise, and quick revision boxes, this guide is ideal for students who are pursuing nursing.
Summary Of The Book
Lewis’s Medical Surgical Nursing has been designed as per the curriculum of South Asian nations. The original book has been updated and modified in order to include information that is required in nursing schools of the subcontinent. Information about diseases that occur in India and the surrounding countries have been added to Lewis’s Medical Surgical Nursing. For the benefit of students, nearly 1500 coloured photographs of live surgeries, and illustrations have been incorporated into the pages on this text. This helps readers get a visual idea of what it is like to work in operating theatres along with surgeons, in real life.
The book has been divided into twelve chapters, which are further divided into two sections. The section of Assessment describes the anatomy of the body, physiological systems, and health history. The second section is titled Management, and it covers topics such as clinical manifestations, management of disease and disorders, pathophysiology, and collaborative cures. Some chapters are Physiologic Mechanisms of Disease, Problems of Oxygenation: Perfusion, Problems Related to Regulatory and Reproductive Mechanisms, and Nursing Care in Specialized Settings.
Readers will come across over a thousand boxes in Lewis’s Medical Surgical Nursing. These contain information about Nutrition, Diagnosis, Alternative Therapies, Emergency Management, Ethnic Dilemmas, and many other topics. The book also has sixty nursing care plans written in a point-by-point manner. These boxes and plans go a long way in helping students quickly and efficiently revise the content. Case studies, critical thinking exercises, and multiple choice questions help in testing the understanding of the readers. For further study and research, online reference links have been listed at the end of the guide.
Lewis’s Medical Surgical Nursing has been written for B.Sc. Nursing students. The content of the book has been validated by an advisory panel, with members like Dr. Asha Sharma who is the Vice-President of the Indian Nursing Council. This edition was published in the year 2010 by Elsevier.
