About the Book

Learn the clinical judgment skills you need to succeed on the Next-Generation NCLEX(R) Exam and in medical-surgical nursing practice with Iggy's trendsetting, concept-based approach! From a team of nursing experts led by Donna Ignatavicius, Medical-Surgical Nursing: Concepts for Clinical Judgment and Collaborative Care, 11th Edition provides a solid foundation in medical-surgical nursing care that is patient-centered, evidence-based, and collaborative. In each chapter, content is organized by the most important concepts of care followed by commonly occurring exemplars for each concept. This perennial bestseller helps you learn to think like a nurse and learn how to apply your knowledge in the classroom, simulation laboratory, and clinical settings.

Unparalleled focus on clinical judgment and systems thinking ensures alignment with the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and emphasizes the six cognitive skills that you'll need in order to develop effective clinical judgment, to succeed when taking the Next-Generation NCLEX(R) Exam (NGN), and to enter clinical practice as a safe, competent, compassionate generalist nurse.
