Davis Advantage for Medical-Surgical Nursing is a complete, integrated solution that combines the power of a student-friendly textbook with personalized learning, clinical judgment, quizzing, and simulation assignments. TEXTBOOK The 3rd Edition of Medical-Surgical Nursing continues its groundbreaking approach— helping students make the connections between concepts and patient care by fostering an understanding of the relationships between the physiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of disorders. § Focuses on the diseases and disorders that nurses are most likely to encounter. § Provides clear and well-defined nursing care guidance that identifies and reinforces what the nurse’s responsibilities are as a member of an interprofessional care team. § Presents Nursing Management consistently using the nursing process; prioritizes care according to the ABCs and Maslow’s Hierarchy; and includes bulleted rationales to explain the `hows’ and `whys’ of treatment. § Incorporates chapters dedicated to critical care content important for new nurses. § “Making Connections to Clinical Judgment” features brand-new questions that align the chapters’ unfolding case studies with the six steps of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. § Online “Making Connections to Clinical Judgment” tables provide a visual clinical judgment analysis of the chapters’ case studies, connecting the steps of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model to practice. § “Medication” tables outline treatment options for selected disorders and include priority nursing implications. DAVIS ADVANTAGE Using a unique and proven approach across a Learn-Apply-Assess-Simulate continuum, Davis Advantage aligns with the textbook to help students understand and retain content, refine their clinical judgment skills, and prepare for the NGN and real-world practice.
