Editorial Review:
Revised to emphasize critical thinking, this Fifth Edition is the most engaging, student-friendly, and comprehensive fundamentals textbook for beginning nursing students. The unique, holistic "blended skills" approach to nursing care integrates technical, cognitive, ethical/legal, and interpersonal skills. Each Fifth Edition chapter opens with three real-world cases, which are used throughout the chapter as examples. Reflective Practice boxes written by Carol Taylor's students describe realistic situations and ask challenging questions. The updated coverage includes discussions of evidence-based practice and a new chapter on complementary and alternative modalities. A back-of-book CD-ROM has tutorials on NCLEX innovative items, and fluid and electrolyte balance.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Very Helpful
This was a very helpful tool in my Nursing Foundations class. I learned so much better by answering the questions in this manual. Some of the questions even ended up on my tests and quizzes. So, if you're buying the textbook, I highly recommend the study guide with it!
Rating:  - Great addition to text
This study guide is an essential addition to the Fundamentals of Nursing textbook. Using the two simultaneously can only multiply retention.

thank you for exchanging my Fundamentals book, the first one was missing chapters and when notified you all your quick response was awsome......thank you again. Celia Garcia
Rating: - Love this book
Okay, maybe it's just because our nursing director helped write the book, but we all love it. The questions at the end of chapter are theory based questions that are very similar to the NCLEX. Our school has a 98% pass rate on the NCLEX and we owe a lot of it to the practice in answering questions in this book and the study guide for this book. I would highly recommend this book even if you don't need it for your school. At least get it from the library for the questions.
Rating:  - required text for nursing class
The information in the book is scattered throughout, making studying difficult. Critical thinking was not encouraged and nursing diagnosis was not included in each discussion area.I would not recommend this book.
