Critical Conversations for Patient Safety
Nursing Student's Clinical Survival Guide

The 5th Australian edition Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing continues to setting the foundation for nursing excellence amid ongoing changes to the regulation of nursing.

For undergraduate nurses, the product covers key concepts in contemporary nursing such as delivering inclusive nursing practice, as well as discussing the latest nursing evidence, standards, and competencies.

Aligned with current nursing standards, the 5th edition helps students link their theoretical knowledge to clinical practice.

Critical Conversations for Patient Safety: An Essential Guide for Healthcare Students
A practical text designed for all health professionals. It addresses therapeutic communication (ie communication between health professionals and their patients), communication between health professionals and, crucially, the critical relationship between communication and patient safety.

The product starts with the foundations of the concept of therapeutic communication (i.e. communication between health professionals and their patients), then extends the focus to include communication between health professionals, and critically, the relationship between communication and patient safety.

Clinical Reasoning

An Australian text designed to address the key area of clinical reasoning in nursing practice.

Using a series of authentic scenarios, Clinical Reasoning guides students through the clinical reasoning process while challenging them to think critically about the nursing care they provide.

With scenarios adapted from real clinical situations that occurred in healthcare and community settings, this edition continues to address the core principles for the provision of quality care and the prevention of adverse patient outcomes.

The 2nd edition of Skills in Clinical Nursing provides a primary Australian resource, preparing undergraduate nursing students to become skills-competent nurses, as well as providing practicing nurses with a highly relevant reference. The text acts as a visual manual, helping students learn to link theory to practice, developing their clinical skills and underpinning industry requirements.

The new edition has been updated to address the latest research as well as emerging needs of clinical nursing students in the Australian context.

Nursing Student's Clinical Survival Guide
This quick-reference guide is not rivalled by anything else in the market. As a support text, Reid-Searl’s Nursing Student's Clinical Survival Guide assists students with tips to competently conduct clinical skills for safe and person-centred care in clinical settings.

Whether used individually across students’ education and into early practice, or as a tool to complement a comprehensive text such as Berman, Skills in Clinical Nursing, Clinical Survival Guide students to deliver competent person-centred care in professional practice.

LeMone and Burke’s Medical-Surgical Nursing: Critical Thinking for Person-Centred Care
Provides a comprehensive, contemporary and consistent systems-based approach that engages students and provides the practical knowledge and skills they need to care for adult patients with a focus on person-centred, holistic nursing care.

Designed to:

emphasise a person-centred philosophy whereby the person who is the recipient of care is seen as an integral member of the team and consideration of their needs and wishes is paramount
foster critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills as the basis for safe clinical practice and nursing excellence
recognise the nurse’s role as an essential member of the interprofessional healthcare team.
