Pearson Reviews & Rationales: Medical-Surgical Nursing with "Nursing Reviews & Rationales," 4th Edition provides a clear, concentrated, and up-to-date review of today's "need to know" knowledge for understanding medical-surgical nursing.

Fully reflective of the NCLEX-RN ^(R) Test Plan, it begins by introducing the basics of the medical-surgical nursing process, physical assessment, and common tests. Next, it provides complete chapters on each of these sets of disorders: respiratory, cardiac, peripheral vascular, neurological, renal/urinary, hepatobiliary/pancreatic, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, integumentary, immunologic, cellular, endocrine/metabolic, hematologic, reproductive, and eye/ear. The text concludes with a full chapter on common problems encountered in emergency and critical care nursing, with solutions.
