In addition to comprehensive coverage of the four areas of nursing: medical/surgical, maternal/newborn, pediatrics, and psychiatric/mental health, the Seventh Edition of this classic reference book features a variety of useful updates. New to this edition is an appendix of vitamins and herbs, necessary for dealing with patients who treat themselves with popular dietary supplements. Also unique to this edition are an increased emphasis on home care, drug alerts, standards of care, and additional patient teaching information that includes complementary therapies. Popular features, including procedure guidelines, nursing alerts, and gerontologic alerts have been expanded. New illustrations appear throughout.

RN
| Customer Rating:  | | My only complaint was that the book had very fine paper-too fine that it can rip. I have ordered this manual in years past and the quality is getting poor. |
Great!
| Customer Rating: | | Very handy, straight to the point, very helpful with Maternal-Child nursing...and it seems like it will be great for all other subjects!! |
A great disappointment
| Customer Rating: | I have used this book since the first edition and am very disappointed in this revision. The info I was looking for was either superficial and incomplete, very poorly written, or missing entirely. For example, there is nothing listed about:
a). Using a NIOSH-approved respirator in airborne precautions or a surgical mask in droplet precautions. This content is confusing and implies a surgical mask should be used for both types of precautions, which is a risky practice. It seems like this is an important differentiation to make.
b). Caring for patients with conditions for which alcohol hand cleaners should not be used (such as C. difficile, Norovirus, those spread by spores)
c). Tertiary syphilis being noninfectious; it seems like the nurse may need to know this.
d). Domestic violence is not covered; again this is something the nurse needs to recognize. A few paragraphs would have been sufficient.
e). Factitious disorder, Munchausens, Munchausen's by proxy. Again, a few paragraphs would suffice.
f). Infection control information on standard precautions, transmission-based precautions, and Clostridium difficile is either inadequate or absent.
g). The section on checking tube feeding placement and checking pH of the aspirate is deficient/incomplete
h). Information on heel pressure ulcers is also inadequate or absent.
i). In 1991, the American Spinal Cord Association asked health professionals to stop using the term "quadriplegia," and replace this word with "tetraplegia," for uniformity and consistency with the rest of the world. (The US is the only country that uses quadriplegia.) This recommendation has been published and available for 16 years, yet the term "tetraplegia" does not appear in the book.
I recognize that some RNs may not need this information. However, nursing students and LPN/LVNs depend on this book for information that meets the standard of care. I also recognize that Lippincott has branched this book off into numerous subtitles, probably to increase profitability. However, the missing information is so basic (and in some instances, potentially dangerous to the nurse and patient) that it belongs in the primary book, even if it is only an introduction and referral to another source.
Generally speaking, I am very disappointed with this revision and the deteriorating quality of LWW's books in general. |
excellent
| Customer Rating: | I ordered the Lipencott manual for nursing and i really liked
it. It made it easier to understand some complex material that
is very hard to grasp in nursing |
