Your students need to begin thinking like nurses from the moment they walk into your program. Authors Judith Wilkinson and Karen Van Leuven help them with a fresh new approach to teaching Fundamentals of Nursing with their innovative two-volume presentation. Volume 1: Theory, Concepts and Applications contains the material you'll cover in your classroom. It stresses knowledge mastery, critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and is case based. The content of this volume, as well as the Electronic Study Guide on CD-ROM packaged with it, is meticulously cross referenced to Volume 2: Thinking and Doing in which the critical thinking introduced in Volume 1 is applied to clinical procedures, and which uses a multi-generational, multi-cultural family as the basis for a case study threaded through Volume 2. This approach best suits the way you teach-and no other textbook has it! Volume 1: Theory, Concepts, and Applications
