Description

Who Lewis’s Medical-Surgical Nursing is for
- BSN and ADN students in medical-surgical or adult health courses that assign Lewis’s.
- Students preparing for licensure who want a comprehensive reference for adult health content.
- New graduate nurses starting on medical or surgical wards.
- Nurse educators and clinical instructors preparing teaching sessions and case discussions.
Medical-surgical nursing is usually the largest course of your programme. Our guide to nursing textbooks for students explains how it fits with fundamentals, pharmacology and specialty texts. If your programme lets you choose, read a sample chapter in the preview to see whether the writing style suits you.
What the textbook covers
As the subtitle states, the book is built around the assessment and management of clinical problems in adults. Lewis’s Medical-Surgical Nursing is organised by body system: for each system, you study assessment first, then the nursing and interprofessional management of the main disorders. In line with the publisher’s emphasis on nursing concepts, broader principles of medical-surgical nursing practice are presented alongside the system-based chapters. This Single Volume edition presents the content in one book rather than two.

About the 12th Edition
This page offers the 12th Edition of Lewis’s Medical-Surgical Nursing, published by Elsevier in 2022. Medical-surgical courses usually specify an edition, and chapter numbers and content can change between editions, so confirm that the 12th Edition matches your syllabus before you buy.
How to study a large med-surg textbook
- Study one body system at a time. Start with the assessment chapter, then read the disorders in that system; the logic of the book will carry you through.
- Turn each disorder into a care plan. Note the key assessment findings, priority nursing problems, interventions and patient teaching.
- Practise patient teaching. Compare your explanations with the plain-language health information on MedlinePlus, from the US National Library of Medicine.
- Review actively. Answer practice questions from memory; our article on active recall shows how.
