This text details the skills identified in Taylor, Lillis and LeMone’s Fundamentals of Nursing and describes additional advanced skills. The procedures and skills are outlined in a clear, step-by-step manner, with rationale, and offer guidance on how to respond to unanticipated outcomes—a feature unique to this text. With abundant illustrations and clear explanations, this text provides appropriate, yet thorough, skills coverage for nursing students.

A back-of-book CD-ROM includes interactive tutorials on vital signs and medication administration, plus a free PDA download of medication administration skills.
