The book Manual of Medical-Surgical Nursing Care is written by Frances Donovan Monahan, Marianne Neighbors, and Carol Green. The Swearingen Manual of Medical-Surgical Nursing: A Care Planning Resource is a comprehensive, clinically focused reference designed to enable nursing staff and students alike to plan and assess the care of the adult medical-surgical patient. The manual provides a focused review of pathophysiology, physical assessment, diagnostic testing, collaborative management, expanded foundation nursing interventions, patient and family education, and discharge planning. The order of presentation of the information in each health alteration provides a hierarchy of data that allows the nurse to plan specific interventions for each patient.
Nursing staff and students can use this reference to quickly access clinical information previously found only in medical-surgical textbooks or lengthy manuals. It is the first reference of its size to have interventions for more than 125 health disorders. Consistent, user-friendly formatting is incorporated to enhance the quick reference capability of this book.
