Hone your ability to make sound clinical nursing judgment via a
conceptual approach to teaching and learning with Harding & Snyder's
Clinical Reasoning Cases in Nursing, 7th Edition. This time-tested
case study approach is highly regarded for its clinically relevant and
thought-provoking cases. With each adoption, you'll be able to tap into
150 unique case studies covering all four clinical practice areas:
medical-surgical, pediatric, OB/maternity, and psychiatric nursing, all
newly organized to facilitate a conceptual approach to teaching and
learning. Each case covers a common patient problem, drawn from actual
clinical experiences and written by nurses who are clinical experts.
Cases include integrated content on pharmacology, nutrition, and
diagnostic/laboratory tests to encourage you to think critically about
all aspects of patient care. The 7th edition features a new
concept-based organization, an enhanced focus on interprofessional
collaboration and QSEN, 20 all-new case studies, and updated content
throughout to reflect the most current standards of clinical practice.
