The Clinical Handbook for Medical-Surgical Nursing: Clinical
Reasoning in Patient Care is a handy, pocket-sized reference for the
care of patients with health problems often encountered in clinical
situations. While primarily developed as a supplement to the Sixth
Edition of Medical-Surgical Nursing: Clinical Reasoning in Patient
Care, to which it is cross-referenced by chapter, the Clinical
Handbook may also be used as a stand-alone reference text. It provides
nursing students essential information in an easy-to-follow format,
allowing them to respond quickly when a patient's condition changes or
when they are assigned to a new patient.
