Helping undergraduate students evolve into nursing professionals prepared to meet the demands of their vocation, Fundamentals of Canadian Nursing equips students with a broad and solid foundation. The third Canadian edition addresses the key concepts that nurses must know to practice knowledgeably, accurately, legally, ethically, and with sensitivity and compassion in the dynamic Canadian health care system. Fundamentals of Canadian Nursing focuses on 3 important tenets: process, such as critical thinking, clinical reasoning, decision making; concepts like health promotion, disease prevention, and caring; and skills, such as health assessment, hygiene, and safety. Additionally, the textbook highlights basic nursing care across the lifespan in a variety of settings. Written in clear and accessible language, beginning nurses learn about best practices with real-world applications from the experts. Representing a pan-Canadian experience, the lead editors enlisted two authors, each from different provinces to reflect different geographical experiences, for many chapters. Special features facilitate learning and highlight the 5 major themes that form the framework for this edition--Primary Health Care, Critical Thinking, Clinical Reasoning, Nursing Process, and Lifespan Considerations.
