Preface
I have taught many areas of nursing in my years of educating students and
enjoy the excitement of new students as they begin their journey to the
study of nursing. My favorite part of teaching fundamentals is watching the
mastery of basic skills and the urge to learn more and grow as a student. I
admire students’ curiosity and tenacity as they try to master the content of
this respected profession. As an educator, it’s important to explain the
content in an interesting and easy-to-understand manner, especially when
discussing the foundation of nursing. As such, Fundamentals of Nursing
Made Incredibly Easy, second edition is a quick resource for the nursing
student and the instructor. In addition, practicing nurses can review the
foundation of nursing and skills.
The content is logically organized into three sections. The first,
“Foundational concepts,” provides an overview of nursing and information
on health care, ethical and legal considerations, and the nursing process.
The second section, “General nursing skills,” covers communication, health
assessment, vital signs, infection, and key medication information. Finally,
“Physiologic needs” contains information on oxygenation, patient self-care,
mobility, skin integrity, pain management, nutrition, and urinary and bowel
elimination.
Each chapter in Fundamentals of Nursing Made Incredibly Easy starts
with a brief outline of the content of the chapter, allowing readers to quickly
determine where they should focus. Practice National Council Licensure
Examination (NCLEX) questions at the end of each chapter serve to
challenge readers on how much information they absorbed. Memory
joggers offer simple tricks to help readers remember key information. Fun
illustrations and cartoons make learning fun—the surest way to keep
readers interested!
In addition, icons draw your attention to important issues:
Teacher’s lounge—provides patient-teaching tips on such topics as
procedures, equipment, and home care
Ages and stages—identifies areas and procedures in which age
could impact the nurse’s care
Stay on the ball—focuses on critical areas involving possible
dangers, risks, complications, contraindications, or ways to
ensure safety
Take note!—offers tips on documentation.
Important topics added to this new edition include:
• Healthy People 2020
• Nutrition has been updated to include MyPlate.gov
• Includes social media relating to the profession of nursing
• Wound care current practice
• Medication and bar code scanning
Fundamentals of Nursing Made Incredibly Easy is a helpful addition
to the Incredibly Easy series, serving as an invaluable guide for nursing
students as they prepare for their nursing career and as a handy reference
for newly graduated and experienced nurses.
