Brunner and Suddarth's Canadian Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing

The only Canadian textbook to include NCLEX questions and resources, this Third Edition of the popular Canadian adaptation of Brunner and Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing reflects key practice differences in Canada, ranging from the healthcare system, to cultural considerations, to epidemiology, pharmacology, and more. Known for its strong nursing process focus and easy readability, this acclaimed text helps students prepare for the NCLEX exam that will be require of Canadian nurses in 2015, focuses on physiological, pathophysiological, and psychosocial concepts as they relate to nursing care, and provides insightful coverage of the nursing care and health care needs of older adults and people with disabilities, important priorities in the education of tomorrow's Canadian health care professionals. The Third Edition features an entirely new chapter on obesity, new information on key Canadian demographic groups (such as First Nations, Inuit, and Metis), updated coverage of Canadian nursing terminology and the Canadian health care system, and an unparalleled array of online instructor and student resources.
