- Nursing students reviewing foundations later in their programme or before the licensing exam.
- Clinical instructors who want a familiar reference to share with students.

What the textbook covers
Potter and Perry’s Fundamentals of Nursing introduces the nursing profession and the nursing process, then the basic concepts and skills used in everyday patient care. The publisher puts the emphasis on critical thinking: learning how to reason through a patient situation, not only how to perform a task. The book is a long-standing reference in nursing education, which is why many instructors build their first-year courses around it.

About the 11th Edition
This page offers the 11th Edition of Potter and Perry’s Fundamentals of Nursing, published by Elsevier in 2022 (ISBN-13 9780323810340). Fundamentals textbooks are updated regularly and assigned readings usually refer to one edition, so confirm with your programme that the 11th Edition is the one you need.
How to study a large fundamentals textbook
At more than 1,500 pages, Potter and Perry’s Fundamentals of Nursing is best used chapter by chapter, following your course schedule:
- Read before the lecture or lab. A first pass through the assigned chapter makes skills sessions far easier to follow.
- Connect concepts to placements. After each clinical day, reread the section on a situation you met and note what you would do differently.
- Practise questions early. Licensing exams test clinical judgement; the National Council of State Boards of Nursing publishes official NCLEX information worth reading early in your programme.
- Use active recall. Close the book and summarise each chapter from memory; our article on active recall shows how.
