Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing

person Rebecca Puchkors, Jeanne Saunders, David Sharp

Written for a one-semester psychiatric-mental health nursing course at both two- and four-year institutions, for students specialising in psychiatric nursing and for other health disciplines. It pairs evidence-based practice with concrete communication strategies so students can build a therapeutic relationship with a patient and their caregivers, organised thematically rather than as a list of disorders.

Population Health for Nurses

person Jessica Ochs, Sherry L. Roper, Susan M. Schwartz

Prepares nurses to design the interventions, policies and practices that move health equity and outcomes across the whole delivery continuum. The social determinants of health carry the argument, and the perspective stays holistic: health behaviour is read as the ongoing interaction between the person, social factors and the physical environment around them.

Nursing

Pharmacology for Nurses

person Tina Barbour-Taylor, Leah Mueller (Sabato), Donna Paris, Dorie Weaver

Introductory pharmacology for nursing students: 40 chapters in 11 units. The first unit covers the broad principles of drug action, then each body system is worked through with a review of the pathophysiology of the disease processes and the medications used to treat them, so the nurse understands why the drug is on the chart and can give it safely.

Neonatal Care Essentials for Nursing and Midwifery

person Jacqui Mcgregor

An entry-level guide for midwifery and nursing students on the neonatal unit, built around four questions you keep asking a premature or unwell term baby: is it warm, is it sweet, is it pink, is it calm. It starts with the transition to life outside the womb, then takes the presentations that actually arrive in a neonatal special care nursery and explains the pathophysiology behind them and what the nurse or midwife does.

Medical-Surgical Nursing

person Christy Bowen, Bridget Carey, Jessica Palozie, Maren Reinholdt

The step beyond fundamentals: 38 chapters of adult medical-surgical nursing, from managing chronic conditions to postoperative care. The pathophysiology reviews are deliberately tight so students grasp the concept without the book turning into an internal medicine text, and each chapter carries the practical skills and evidence-based practice that go with it.

Written for bachelor's, master's and PhD levels in nursing and the other health professions. Edited by Gørill Haugan and Monica Eriksson, Springer 2021, CC BY licence.
