Summary: Created especially for nurses, the Clinical Decision Making series helps to bridge the gap between content knowledge and clinical application. Case Studies in Medical-Surgical Nursing provides over forty medical-surgical case histories, questions, and responses based on real life client situations. Every case contains an introductory blueprint of variables that must be considered while evaluating a particular scenario, which are pertinent concerning the client, nursing protocol, and setting of care. Examples of these variables include age, gender, or culture of the client, the client with a pre-existing condition, legal issues, or communication skills.Each blueprint and case is different, just as each clinical situation is unique to others.
