Understanding Anatomy and Physiology in Nursing
Covering all the key aspects of anatomy and physiology that nursing students need to know, this second edition condenses vast amounts of scientific information into short, concise, and easily accessible chapters. It introduces aspiring nurses to all of the vital information on this tricky subject, from an overview of cells, blood, and the major organ systems through to key developmental stages, genetics and ageing. Case studies link core principles of anatomy and physiology to common real-world clinical scenarios, helping students apply this knowledge to their everyday working practice.
Key features:
- Each short chapter is mapped to the 2018 NMC Standards
- Scientific information is broken down into easily digestible chunks with accompanying illustrations, to help aspiring nurses get to grips with this complex subject
- Case studies, activities and other learning features help students translate the theory to practice
- Provides revision guidance and strategies for tackling exams and assessments
Very nice text which addresses all of the areas you would expect and with a great level of detail, but not overwhelmingly so. Very nice supporting images - colour images would be useful but of course the price point of the book would then increase. Overall, however, this is not detrimental to what is a great text and one which represents incredible value for money.
Fantastic anatomy & physiology book for my pre registration nursing students. Giving them a comprehensive overview of anatomy and physiology at a level that is appropriate and understandable. A highly recommended resource for any prospective nursing student that will help to support their knowledge development.
Extremely good book. Clear communication of concepts and physiological processes in just the right amount and depth as to inform without overwhelming Nursing students. The mapping of the NMC is particularly helpful for lecturers when planning and designing sessions for the module, while also making the students aware of the importance of studying A&P.
Links directly to Unit 9 module and covers all content on HNC Healthcare Practice.
This book is useful Nursing Associate courses and Year 1 health professional degrees. The information is current and easily accessible for new HE students.
Excellent book. Aligns with modular content. I will be recommending this book across my modules along with others in the Sage series (Pathophysiology and Pharmacology, Acute and Critical Care).
