A broad nursing reference with practical and interdisciplinary coverage

This eighth edition organizes more than 10,500 entries around the language of nursing theory and practice, while extending into medicine, anatomy, physiology, ethics, psychiatry, nutrition, dentistry, statistics, and pharmacology. Its updates foreground radiography, public health, the NHS, and terminology associated with the 2018 NMC Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses. Nearly 100 illustrations and tables add visual reference support, and 16 appendices gather applied material including drug-dosage calculations, religion in nursing practice, and alcohol-intake guidance. The scope makes it a desk reference for both clinical vocabulary and adjacent subjects encountered in nursing education and work.

Book overview

The new edition of this bestselling and trusted dictionary has been fully revised to take account of recent developments in nursing practice and related fields. Updates to this edition cover many areas, with a particular focus on radiography, public health and the NHS, theoretical concepts familiar in nursing education, and key vocabulary used in the 2018 Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses.

Written by medical and nursing specialists, and offering more than 10,500 clear and concise entries on nursing theory and practice, the dictionary provides comprehensive coverage of the ever-expanding vocabulary of the nursing professions. As well as nursing-specific terms, there are also many entries in the fields of medicine, anatomy, physiology, ethics, psychiatry, nutrition, dentistry, statistics, and pharmacology. Almost 100 helpful illustrations and tables, and 16 appendices covering the calculation of drug dosages, religion and nursing practice, recommended alcohol intake, and much more, help to make this an essential reference tool for all nursing students and professionals.
