Nursing Fundamentals
Nursing Fundamentals explores the scope of nursing practice, communication techniques, and essential care frameworks. Coverage includes safety, comfort, nutrition, and specific disorders, while integrated learning activities and NCLEX questions develop the critical clinical judgment skills your students need for effective real-world client care.
Nursing Skills
Students master essential clinical techniques with Nursing Skills, a practice-focused resource covering evidence-based methods and physical assessment for entry-level nurses. Students will learn how to gather comprehensive health histories and use the systematic body systems approach to conduct physical assessments, complemented by skills checklists, demonstration videos, and relevant calculations.
Nursing Advanced Skills
Taking clinical competence to the next level, Nursing Advanced Skills covers techniques including intravenous infusions, blood product administration, central line management, chest tube systems, ECG interpretation, and feeding tube insertion. Perfect for students progressing beyond foundations presented in Nursing Skills, this resource prepares them for new care responsibilities.
Nursing Pharmacology
Nursing Pharmacology presents fundamental principles and examines various medication classes with their physiological effects on the body, emphasizing the nursing process framework for safe medication administration. Rather than serving as a comprehensive drug reference, it uniquely connects students to DailyMed resources from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, providing trusted, detailed information about prototype medications within each classification.
Nursing Health Alterations
Clinical practice comes alive in Health Alterations as students apply theoretical concepts to patient care across the lifespan. The content examines common conditions and evidence-based interventions for various body systems, enriched with interactive NCLEX Next Generation-style questions and brief video overviews of each condition to enhance understanding.
Mental Health and Community Concepts
Mental Health and Community Concepts bridges two vital practice domains, examining the connections between individual wellness and community health. The content examines mental health and community health concepts, emphasizing stress management, healthy coping strategies, and preventative interventions including referrals to community resources. Students will learn to care for individuals with mental health and substance use disorders, as well as the nurse’s role in community health needs assessments and caring for vulnerable populations.
Management and Professional Concepts
Preparing students for leadership roles, Management and Professional Concepts addresses prioritization, delegation, legal and ethical practice, interprofessional collaboration, and burnout prevention. Each chapter features interactive learning activities, including NCLEX Next Generation-style case studies designed to develop clinical judgment in real client-care situations. Also included is a "suite of patients" with discussion prompts to help students apply concepts to realistic healthcare scenarios.
Nursing Assistant
Launching healthcare careers with practical skills, Nursing Assistant prepares students for employment as nursing assistants and entry into other health-related programs, culminating in eligibility for competency evaluation and registry inclusion. Upon successful completion of a Nursing Assistant program, students can pursue employment in various healthcare settings including nursing homes, hospitals, home health agencies, hospices, residential facilities, and assisted living centers.
Medical Terminology
Unlock the language of healthcare with Medical Terminology, a comprehensive open educational resource that builds essential vocabulary skills for clinical practice. Students master the components of medical terms including prefixes, suffixes, and word roots while exploring diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, and symptomatic terminology across all body systems. This resource provides the foundational knowledge your students need to communicate effectively in healthcare settings and understand complex medical documentation throughout their nursing careers.
Nursing Health Promotion
Focusing on wellness across the lifespan, Nursing Health Promotion covers essential strategies from nutrition to stress management. Students explore family dynamics, reproductive health, pregnancy care, and pediatric nursing while developing mental health competencies. Interactive NCLEX Next Generation-style case studies in each chapter prepare students to support healthy lifestyle choices in diverse patient populations.
