Building upon the fundamentals of nursing, this book helps you master the role and responsibilities of the LPN/LVN in medical-surgical care. It addresses the special problems of older adult patients, then covers each major disorder by body system, presenting patient problems, goals, outcome criteria, and nursing interventions. As LPN/LVNs do not formulate NANDA diagnoses, the book is organized by patient problems rather than NANDA nursing diagnoses.
