"Common Foundation Studies in Nursing" has established itself as the most popular choice for students entering nurse education, providing an invaluable core text for study, reference and assignments. This new edition has been especially revised to provide support for both theory and practice for all students in all four branches. There is a new focus on practice and practical skills, and increased use of case studies and examples reflecting all aspects of care in both acute and community settings. Key features of the third edition include: new chapter on Safe practice skills; new chapter on Evidence-based practice; new chapter on Accountability; and a new chapter on Cultural diversity in care. Up-to-date, this book reflects new NHS priorities, clinical governance and the need for evidence-based practice. It also reflects changing care priorities in terms of community and ageing population.It features an enhanced student-friendly format, with extensive case studies, practice reflection points, further reading, etcetera.
