Description

Taylor’s Fundamentals of Nursing, Tenth Edition, is the textbook its publisher describes as the preferred nursing fundamentals resource for generations of nursing students and educators. Published by LWW in September 2022 as a North American edition of 2,024 pages, Fundamentals of Nursing: The Art and Science of Person-Centered Care is written by Carol R. Taylor, Pamela B. Lynn and Jennifer L. Bartlett. It introduces the knowledge, skills and attitudes beginning nurses need, with the patient as a person at the centre of care. Here you will find the bibliographic details, an online FlipBook preview and the PDF eBook after purchase.

Who Taylor’s Fundamentals of Nursing is for

• Beginning nursing students whose programme assigns Taylor’s text for the fundamentals course.
• Students in skills labs who want a detailed reference while learning basic nursing care.
• Nursing students later in their programme who need to revisit foundational concepts.
• Nurse educators teaching fundamentals and person-centred care.

Programmes usually choose one fundamentals text, either this one or another such as Potter and Perry, so check your syllabus first. Our guide to nursing textbooks for students helps you plan the rest of your reading list.

What the book covers

The subtitle, The Art and Science of Person-Centered Care, captures the book’s two strands: the scientific knowledge and technical skills of nursing, and the human side of caring for each patient as an individual. As a comprehensive fundamentals text, it introduces nursing practice and the nursing process and then moves through the core concepts and skills that later courses build on.

How to study with a 2,000-page textbook

Taylor’s Fundamentals of Nursing is too large to read in one go, and it is not meant to be. Work with it strategically:

1. Follow the syllabus. Read only the chapters assigned each week, and skim the headings first to see how the chapter is built.
2. Practise skills with the text open. Before a lab session, read the relevant skill and visualise each step.
3. Reflect on person-centred care. After placements, write a short note on how you involved the patient in decisions; professional standards from the American Nurses Association give useful context.
4. Review with self-testing. Our article on active recall explains a simple method.
