CONTENTS
PREFACE

Nursing students usually have their first formal introduction to nursing concepts in Fundamentals of Nursing courses. As the course name implies, the intent of the course is to provide students with foundational information that will be used throughout the remainder of the nursing curriculum. Assimilating the information presented in the course can be quite an overwhelming task. Students are challenged not only to learn a new body of knowledge but also to begin to analyze, synthesize, and apply this information in clinical situations.

The intent of Nursing Fundamentals Demystified is to facilitate students understanding of this new and uncharted territory of information. This book is not intended to replace core fundamentals of nursing textbooks; instead, it emphasizes the most critical concepts. This book can be used as a supplemental resource for both novice students and nurses who need a quick and simple reference resource.

Key features included in this premiere edition of Nursing Fundamentals Demystified include the following:
