Description
Nursing students don’t need more complexity. They need clarity, retention, and a resource that speaks to how patients actually present at the bedside.
Medical-Surgical Nursing delivers exactly that — a clear, practical, and clinically grounded guide written by a Doctor of Nursing Practice with over 30 years of bedside experience.
Written by Gladys N. Jusino Leon, DNP, MSN, RN, CMSRN, GERO-BC, this medical-surgical nursing study guide distills complex body-system content into clear, direct, and easy-to-retain information — exactly what nursing students and busy clinicians need at the point of care.
Each of the book’s twelve body-system chapters follows a consistent, exam-ready structure:
• Structure and function overview
• Age-related changes and common chronic conditions
• Diagnostic labs, tests, and procedures
• Clinical manifestations and expected treatments
• Evidence-based nursing interventions to improve patient outcomes
Covered systems include the cardiac, hematologic, oncologic, respiratory, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, gastrointestinal, nervous, musculoskeletal, and immune/lymphatic systems — plus a dedicated chapter on gerontological nursing, with in-depth coverage of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and age-related care for older adults.
This is not a textbook written from a distance. Dr. Jusino opens the book with the story of her own father’s experience with inadequate hospital care — an experience that reinforced her lifelong commitment to compassionate, competent nursing and inspired this resource. Every chapter reflects a singular mission: helping nurses and nursing students provide the kind of care every patient and family deserves.
The book also opens with a chapter on nursing ethics and professionalism, addressing communication, character, and emotional competence — foundational skills often underemphasized in dense academic textbooks.
Nursing students preparing for med-surg coursework or NCLEX-RN exams. Working RNs and CMSRN candidates who want a clear bedside reference. Educators looking for a supplemental classroom resource. And any allied health professional who wants to strengthen their understanding of body systems, diagnostics, and patient-centered care.
