Too many students are being taught approaches that are no longer relevant to practice. Alfaro-LeFevre knows how to grab your attention and let you know what you must know to succeed both in classroom and clinical settings. She discusses "old" versus "new" thinkng and gives sound strategies and rational for moving forward into this decade. As with her other book, Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgment --- an AJN Book of the Year Award winner --- she makes difficult content easy (even fun) to learn. Her emphasis on ANA standards as they apply to using nursing process as a tool for critical thinking ensures a sound, logical, relevant approach.
This book is an excelent introductoin to the nursing process. She explains the how and why in a clear and concise manner. She shows how the nursing process can be applies to a variety of settings and situations, and also how to adapt it to the spacific needs of the patient.
Helps your "nursing reasoning" but no direct categorizing by topic. For the price, I'd skip on this one. As a Nursing student, I need something more direct and easier to comb through.
Excellent, prompt service. Delivered very fast. Thank you!!
Didn't really get to use this book as I thought I would in Nursing Fundamentals, but it helped me look at a few topics from a differenct point of view.
This book is easy to read and follow along. Very helpful in the first year of the nursing program.
Really only bought this as it was required for class, I did not use it at all really. Flipped it open once, seemed to be well organized and similar to my other diagnosis/process books.
