PN MED-SURG simplified: A Plain language study book for LPN/PN students

By Robert Guimary and IMELDA DEVERA GUIMARY

Simplified for the working nursing student.

Practical-nurse students learn the same patients RNs see - but with less time, more competing demands, and a board exam that rewards calm, prioritized thinking. PN Med-Surg Simplified rebuilds the 13 body-system curriculum around the actions a PN actually performs and the questions the NCLEX-PN actually asks. Pathophysiology is stated in plain English, signs and symptoms are listed the way you'll observe them, and every medication entry tells you what to watch for before you give it.

Inside you'll find: 13 body-system chapters; comparative tables side-by-side (left vs right heart failure, hyper- vs hypothyroidism, Crohn's vs UC, SIADH vs DI); medication tables built around drug safety and patient teaching; mnemonics for ABG / acid-base, fluid balance, and high-risk medications; faculty tips and NCLEX-PN-style review questions in every chapter; pressure-injury staging, burn rule-of-nines, GCS references; updated infection-control coverage including Hantavirus; and plain-language explanations short enough to read between shifts. The same calm, prioritized voice working PNs use at the bedside.
