REVIEWER QUOTES

"This is an extremely well written book combining clinical problems and scenarios with appropriate patho-physiology and associated nursing care. Understanding the mechanisms of disease is essential to appropriate clinical interventions and this book makes physiology both relevant and applicable to clinical nursing."
Dr. Ray Higginson, Senior Lecturer in Critical Care, University of Glamorgan.

"This book successfully takes a biomedical approach to understanding nursing care, which provides a solid foundation of knowledge. The related activities integrated into the text to facilitate learning also help to place the theory into a real world environment."
Anne Waugh, Senior Lecturer, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Care, Napier University.

"Whilst focusing on the Foundation of Nursing, this engaging and creatively written book illustrates the amazing diversity and complexity of nursing in the 21st Century.
