Ebook KDM : Essentials for Nursing Practice ; NINTH EDITION
The nursing profession is always responding to dynamic
change and continual challenges. Today’s nurses must be pre-
pared to adapt to the continual changes occurring in health
care. They play a vital role in the delivery of multidisciplinary
health care services. The practice arena is changing—moving
more to the community setting. The focus of care is also
changing, with more emphasis being placed on health pro-
motion and restorative care. Even the patients are chang-
ing—more cultural diversity exists, and the percentage of
older adult patients continues to increase. Patients are far
more involved in and informed about health care.
Despite—or perhaps because of—these changes, it is essen-
tial that the basics of nursing remain the foundation of prac-
tice. Nurses must be knowledgeable and professional. They
must be both technically proficient and personally caring.
And they must be able to synthesize a broad array of knowl-
edge and experience when providing care for their patients.
We continue to cover all of the fundamental nursing con-
cepts, skills, and techniques that students must master before
moving on to other areas of study. In addition, we address
changes in practice that affect how and where nurses use the
skills and knowledge they acquire.
