Grounded in the Institute of Medicine/National Academy of Medicine (IOM/NAM) five core competencies for healthcare professionals and the related Quality and Safety for Nursing Education (QSEN) competencies, the content progresses from the basics of the nursing profession and the dynamics of patient care into critical healthcare delivery discussions, ranging from health policy and political action to community health and leadership in nursing practice.Throughout the updated Sixth Edition students will remain engaged with discussion questions, critical thinking activities, and "Stop and Consider" sections that encourage readers to reflect on important chapter topics and concepts. Students can further interact with the content in "Working Backwards to Develop a Case", an in-text feature that allows them to creatively apply what they have learned to their own unique case scenarios, bringing these foundational concepts to life. Above all, Professional Nursing Concepts: Competencies for Quality Leadership, Sixth Edition reminds students that quality patient care is at the heart of the nursing profession.

This two-volume treatise, the collected effort of more than 50 authors, represents the first comprehensive survey of the chemistry and biology of the set of molecules known as peptide growth factors. Although there have been many symposia on this topic, and numerous publications of reviews dealing with selected subsets of growth factors, the entired field has never been covered in a single treatise. It is essential to do this at the present time, as the number of journal articles on peptide growth factors now makes it almost im anyone person to stay informed on this subject by reading the possible for At the same time it is becoming increasingly apparent that primary literature. these substances are of universal importance in biology and medicine and that the original classification of these molecules, based on the laboratory setting of their discovery, as "growth factors," "lymphokines," "cytokines," or "colony-stimulating factors," was quite artifactual; they are in fact the basis of a common language for intercellular communication. As a set they affect es sentially every cell in the body, and in this regard they provide the basis to develop a unified science of cell biology, germane to all of biomedical research.

Professional Nursing Concepts takes a patient-centered, traditional approach to nursing education and provides the foundation pre-licensure nursing students need in order to successfully transition into practice. Grounded in the Institute of Medicine's five core competencies for healthcare professionals, the current edition logically flows from the basics of the nursing profession and the dynamics of patient care into critical healthcare delivery discussions, ranging from health policy and political action to community health and leadership in nursing practice. Each chapter features discussion questions, critical thinking activities, and "stop and consider" sections that encourage students to reflect on important chapter topics in meaningful ways. Students can further interact with text content in "Working Backwards to Develop a Case", an in-text feature that allows students to creatively apply what they have learned to their own unique case scenarios, bringing these foundational concepts to life. Above all, Professional Nursing Concepts reminds students that quality patient care is at the heart of the nursing profession. The fifth edition will continue to focus heavily on a patient-centered approach and will include new and updated features to engage students in their own learning. References will be updated as appropriate. The following changes are proposed for this fifth edition.

This revised companion book to Teaching IOM/HMD: Implications of the Institute of Medicine and Health & Medicine Division Reports for Nursing Education brings the IOM and HMD reports to life for learners. The easy-to-follow guidance helps students and nurses in professional development easily conceptualize how the reports influence and affect modern nursing practice. It introduces the concept of integrating the IOM and HMD reports on nursing practice into the educational setting and thereafter into practice. Nursing is a practice profession: nursing education and staff development need to reflect this in every aspect. Many IOM and HMD reports relevant to nursing--especially those on quality issues--are platforms for improvements throughout health care practice, policy, and education. This book is based in large part on the author's ongoing, first-hand conversations and collaborations with nurse educators, staff developers, and clinicians. It takes a real-world approach to implementing the IOM and HMD reports into modern nursing practice. Learning IOM/HMD book is organized into IOM's five core competencies for all health care professionals--patient-centered care, interprofessional teamwork, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics utilization. It features new and re- invigorated insights and ideas on why and how to understand the IOM and HMD reports and their recommendations individually and as a body of work"--Publisher's description.
