Covering all the essential principles common to all branches of nursing, this book provides an integrated introduction to the theory and practice of all aspects of professional practice.

Each chapter carries a statement of learning outcomes and a variety of questions and activities with self-test exercises at the end of each module.The book is structured in eight focus on care, the professional discipline of nursing, the theoretical basis of nursing, the nursing process, therapeutic modes, the delivery of nursing care, the social context of nursing and the branches of nursing.
