The third Australian edition of Medical–Surgical Nursing: Critical  Thinking for Person-Centred Care will help prepare you for your nursing  journey. It will challenge you to excel and support you as you learn.

Students  will be provided with a strong knowledge base, an understanding of  contemporary practice issues in Australia and the capacity for sound  clinical reasoning. These professional attributes will allow you to  provide nursing care that is safe and effective. This easily understood,  straightforward Australian edition integrates the following concepts:  epidemiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, legal and ethical issues,  therapeutic communication, interprofessional communication and cultural  competence.

These ebooks have been designed to:

emphasise a person-centred philosophy whereby the person who is the  recipient of care is seen as an integral member of the team and  consideration of their needs and wishes is paramount
foster critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills as the basis for nursing excellence in clinical practice
recognise the nurse’s role as an essential member of the interprofessional healthcare team.
