LPN2009 is a peer-reviewed resource that focuses on the skills needed by practical nurses to safely deliver bedside care to their patients in any practice setting. Feature articles bring the practical nurse up-to-date on what he or she needs to know about caring for patients with common disease states, such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, neurologic diseases, diabetes, and wounds. Full-color artwork illustrates and reinforces key points to enhance the learning process. Regularly appearing departments address important clinical concerns, such as continence, mobility, nutrition, infection, and patient safety. LPN2009 helps the practical nurse strengthen his or her clinical skills and build confidence while also offering advice on documentation, practice issues, and career development.
