Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking for Collaborative Care is a comprehensive yet eminently readable undergraduate textbook of medical-surgical/adult health nursing that addresses the very latest trends in nursing care of adults. Revised after just three years, it incorporates both NIC intervention categories and outcome statements that are consistent with NOC outcome indicators, as well as enhanced coverage of complementary and alternative therapies, community-based care, cultural diversity, substance abuse, evidence-based practice, Healthy People 2010 goals, and cost-of-care implications for nursing. Together with a thoroughly revised Critical Thinking Study Guide, an innovative Instructor’s Manual, and a groundbreaking new Virtual Clinical Excursions web-based learning experience, the 4th edition of “Iggy” moves to the forefront of nursing education as a fully integrated multimedia instructional package for mediacl-surgical nursing.
