About the Book

Fundamentals of Nursing, unlike other texts, is not limited to just one specialism, but considers nursing across all fields from Adult, to Child, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities as well as both within the acute and community settings. The book will help you to prepare and succeed in the varied and exciting career you have chosen, enabling you to become the skilled, flexible and confident nurse modern healthcare demands.   Fundamentals of Nursing helps you on this journey with comprehensive coverage of contemporary professional nursing developed to compliment the latest Standards of Proficiency for Pre-Registration Nursing Education (Nursing & Midwifery Council 2010) and the Essential Skills Clusters.   Support for your learning is provided through: Full Colour Presentation – view procedures and other visuals in realistic full colour. Diagrams and text features stand out in the colourful and highly developed text design. Black and white and dullness are banned. Don’t accept anything less! Step-by-Step Procedures are included in all clinical chapters (with a quick access contents list included within the prelims).  Clinical procedures are discussed using a step-by-step approach, often with stunning visuals and the rationale is provided for these procedures based on current clinical evidence. Skills revision videos (available within MyNursingKit) are linked to procedures where relevant. Case Studies – helping to put nursing into context, these realistic scenarios across a range of nursing fields and settingsare included in all chapters. Relevant guidance is included to help you understand what you need to consider when confronted with a similar situation. These are suitable for both personal reflection and group discussion.  Newly Developed Chapters devised by specialists on Mental Health, Child and Learning Disability Nursing have been written to promote the widest possible experience and understanding among students and practitioners of all nursing fields, promoting the basic skills to meet any patient’s needs independent of age or vulnerability. Clinical Alerts are used in clinical chapters to highlight particular areas of practice that need to be taken into account when caring for an individual or group.  Activities are used throughout to help you reinforce and prove your learning. Reference answers are provided to check your understanding. Lifespan Considerations are included where appropriate to highlight alternative practices when caring for infants, children and/or older adults. Community Considerations provide information on caring for individuals in the home care and community setting. Prepares the student for more than just the acute setting. MyNursingKit – a premium website integrated with the text providing extra practice, revision and support for the student. Including diagnostic tests, interactive scenario simulations and skills videos among other resources. Go to www.pearsoned.co.uk/kozier to login.

Review :
"A valuable resource to nursing in the branches of adult, child, learning disability and mental health who are studying at undergraduate level ... easy to follow and facilitates learning well. Fundamentals of Nursing covers a vast amount of topics such as historical and current issues within nursing practice, health and illness, law and ethics, nursing theories, assessment skills and myriad clinical focuses. There is a lot covered and it can help with writing assignments, new learning and brushing up on skills and knowledge. This book has a variety of distinctive features which include case studies, critical reflections and activities to consolidate learning, and references are also included after each chapter should the reader wish to engage in further reading. The Learning Outcomes section prior to each chapter is resourceful as you have an idea of what you should be able to do and know after reading the chapter." -Tianna Jarrett-Williams, Nursing Student, Coventry University "The first edition of the Kozier text has been one of the most useful books I have used throughout 1st year. It contains almost everything you will need to know, plus is a great base to set you off on doing your own research. The new book looks to have even more sections which are clearly defined; as a child nurse, I especially loved the chapter dedicated to that branch!  In the common foundation programme at university, the Kozier text may be used as a base for every single essay which will be written and is easily the most useful book for all modules. It contains a wealth of information but still prompts you to carry out further research. The Kozier text is what you make it to be, personally I couldn’t have asked for a better present to see me through my first year, and hopefully for the next two it will continue to assist my learning; in my opinion it is the perfect nursing textbook." - Becky Sarjeant, Nursing Student "a very useful source of information with up-to-date references. I found the depth really interesting for what is needed for first year; this book is vital for first year students to gain insight into essential skills clusters. Chapters for learning disability and nursing theories will be really useful for first year students, in practice or theory - these two chapters were my favourite part of the book because of the evidence based information that was available. The book also shows information about other professional theories which benefits nurses as it highlights the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach." - Natalie Teasdale, Nursing Student "This textbook is easy to follow and understand, with concise and relevant information for all aspects pertaining to the student nurse.  It is particularly relevant for the first year nurse as a core textbook, the second year nurse for exam revision and ongoing support, whilst for the third year as a general refresher." - Claire Brimson, Nursing Student
