This resource develops the competencies and skills nursing students need to manage patients with complex conditions in the medical-surgical field.

LeMone & Burke's Medical-Surgical Nursing provides a comprehensive, contemporary, and consistent systems-based approach to medical-surgical nursing that engages students and provides the practical knowledge and skills they need to care for adult patients with a focus on person-centred, holistic clinical practice.

Students develop their understanding of theory and how this is applied in clinical practice with an emphasis on effective clinical reasoning and decision-making skills.
