Master the LPN/LVN’s role and responsibilities in medical-surgical nursing! With coverage organized by body systems, Adult Health Nursing, 10th Edition, is an essential guide to nursing care for patients with common disorders. Through use of the nursing process, you will develop clinical judgment skills to assess patient needs, develop nursing care plans, and plan effective nursing interventions. Case studies provide practice with critical thinking and clinical judgment, and Next-Generation NCLEX®-format questions help you prepare for success on the NCLEX-PN® examination.

Overview of Anatomy and Physiology begins all body systems chapters, and Chapter 1: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology provides a clear, basic understanding of the A&P that LPN/LVNs need to know.
Nursing Process is applied to the discussion of disorders and appears in a summary form at the end of each chapter.
Nursing Care Plans, presented in a case-study format, emphasize patient goals and outcomes and include Clinical Judgment Questions at the end of each care plan.
Step-by-step skills presentation clearly defines nursing actions and rationales.
Older Adult Considerations boxes provide age-specific information for the care of the aging population, which is often the primary focus of the LPN/LVN.

UPDATED content reflects the latest research, standardized guidelines, and best practices in LPN/LVN care.
UPDATED case studies and review questions help strengthen comprehension.
NEW content on health disparities in different populations is emphasized throughout the text.
UPDATED Immune chapter highlights the newest medical and drug therapies.
UPDATED Cardiovascular content reflects the most current clinical practices.
EXPANDED and UPDATED art program visually reinforces key content with original photos and modern illustrations.
