In one, the discussion is a focus on general adult nursing concepts. In the other each body system is discussed thoroughly and accurately, starting with assessment and concluding with nursing management, including information about a variety of client settings. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive resource containing essential information that students need to prepare for lectures, classroom activities, examinations, clinical assignments, and in overall care of patients. The authors are targeting this book to nursing students at all levels. It is an excellent guide to use in the classroom and the clinical area. The book is divided into two major parts. In the first ten chapters the authors deal with general concepts of adult medical surgical nursing. They have divided the second into sections of physiological function (for example, "The Surgical Experience" and "Problems of Oxygenation: Ventilation"). Each section includes brief reviews of anatomy and physiology followed by discussion of assessment, diagnostic studies, and how these are managed by nurses. There is also thorough discussion of nursing management. Nursing care is discussed in ambulatory and home care settings, and health promotion information and acute care management issues are reviewed. This is a good quality book. I prefer it to other texts because of the way the physiological systems are divided. This book is easy to read and understand with excellent color illustrations, and easy to read tables. It can be used by the beginning nursing student and also by the advanced nursing student in medical-surgicalnursing studies. This is the fifth edition and the book has been updated with new vocabulary and current trends.
