Understanding Anatomy and Physiology in Nursing
Covering all the key aspects of anatomy and physiology that nursing students need to know, this second edition condenses vast amounts of scientific information into short, concise, and easily accessible chapters. It introduces aspiring nurses to all of the vital information on this tricky subject, from an overview of cells, blood, and the major organ systems through to key developmental stages, genetics and ageing. Case studies link core principles of anatomy and physiology to common real-world clinical scenarios, helping students apply this knowledge to their everyday working practice.
Key features:
- Each short chapter is mapped to the 2018 NMC Standards
- Scientific information is broken down into easily digestible chunks with accompanying illustrations, to help aspiring nurses get to grips with this complex subject
- Case studies, activities and other learning features help students translate the theory to practice
- Provides revision guidance and strategies for tackling exams and assessments
Excellent book. Aligns with modular content. I will be recommending this book across my modules along with others in the Sage series (Pathophysiology and Pharmacology, Acute and Critical Care).
