Concept-Based Clinical Nursing Skills: Fundamental to Advanced – PDF

Stein and Hollen’s Concept-Based Clinical Nursing Skills: Fundamental to Advanced (PDF) features over 250 nursing skills presented in a unique format that focuses on concepts. The book is filled with clear illustrations, concise rationales, and the latest evidence. Unlike other textbooks, Stein and Hollen ground their approach in seven crucial concepts — accuracy, client-centered care, infection control, safety, communication, evaluation, and health maintenance — emphasizing their significance in successfully executing nursing skills. Each section combines foundational knowledge with step-by-step skill instructions, and every chapter includes a detailed case study along with a concept map to help you apply your knowledge and make sound clinical judgments in real-life situations.
