PrefaceWhy We Wrote This BookDr. LeMone-Koeplin developed the original vision forMedical-Surgical Nursing: Clinical Reasoning in Patient Carebased on the belief that nursing is a holistic, evidencebased, person-centered profession. Nursing care, therefore,is provided for the whole person, not just for a malfunction of one or more body systems. We chose the cover andunit opener images to reflect this emphasis on the wholeperson.The revisions and updates reflected in the seventh edition of Medical-Surgical Nursing: Clinical Reasoning in PatientCare further reflect our belief that nurses should possess thenecessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to continuouslyimprove the quality and safety of care in healthcare systems.We believe that nurses need to be able to use evidence-basedpractice, apply clinical reasoning skills, and understand nursing care standards to safely perform complex skills and tasks.In Unit 1, Dimensions of Medical-Surgical Nursing, Chapter 2,Health and Illness in Adults, includes a section on criticalcare with a table to easily find critical care–related topics likeshock and sepsis, burns, cardiac and pulmonary disorders, aswell as disorders of the liver/pancreas, acute kidney injury,and spinal cord injury. Unit 2, Alterations in Patterns of Health,has been revised to include a new, comprehensive chapter oncaring for the patient with alterations in sleep (Chapter 3) toemphasize the impact that inadequate sleep has on the patient in a multitude of ways.In this textbook, discussions of the human responsesto illness and disease are structured within the frameworkof clinical reasoning and the nursing process. Nursingcare is presented within the context of nursing problemsor diagnoses, emphasizing the importance of developingindividualized evidence-based plans of care. The qualityand safety implications for nursing care are addressed.Throughout the text, nursing care planning is based on aphilosophy that individuals, their families, and communities are active participants in health and illness as well asconsumers of healthcare services.Regardless of the type of healthcare service or setting,medical-surgical nurses must use knowledge and skills toprovide competent and safe patient care. The ability to effectively prioritize activities and patient care needs is critical. Nursing care is structured by the activities planned andcarried out through clinical reasoning and multiple thinking strategies when applying the nursing process. Care ofthe medical-surgical patient is based on established professional ethics and standards and is focused on promoting orreturning the patient to a state of functional health or providing palliative care at the end of life. Transitions of careare addressed for selected topics related to nursing basedon prevention, acute, chronic, and end-of-life foci.viiA01 LEMO8189 07 SE FM.indd 701/12/2018 03:54

Throughout the text, we make every effort to communicate that both nurses and patients may be male or femaleand that patients require holistic, individualized care regardless of their age, gender, or racial, cultural, or socioeconomic background. Where indicated, we addressed issuesrelated to special populations including older adults, theLGBTQI population, veterans, and adult survivors of pediatric conditions and congenital disorders. Our goal is tohelp students acquire the knowledge, resources, and competencies that ensure a solid base for clinical reasoning andthat are applied to provide safe, individualized, and competent nursing care. We use understandable language anda consistent format, focusing on the most commonly encountered conditions. We have developed multiple learning strategies to facilitate success—audio, illustrations,teaching tips, and video and animation media.Starting with the first edition, we have held fast to ourvision that this textbook: Maintains a strong focus on nursing care as the essential element in learning and doing nursing, regardlessof the gender, age, race, culture, or socioeconomic background of the patient or the setting for care. Provides a balance of pathophysiology, pharmacology,and interprofessional care to support interdependentand independent nursing interventions. Emphasizes the nurse’s role as a caregiver, educator,advocate, leader and manager, and as an essentialmember of the interprofessional healthcare team. Uses functional health patterns and the nursing processas the structure for providing nursing care in today’sworld by prioritizing nursing interventions specific toaltered responses to illness. Fosters clinical reasoning and decision making as the basisfor safe, knowledgeable, individualized clinical practice.Chapter 16Organizationof This Bookstudent learning, each chapter in the book includes keyterms, learning outcomes and clinical competencies, chapter highlights, test yourself NCLEX-type questions, and references with supporting evidence. Each chapter is groupedinto sections, and each section has a learning outcome.Each unit with a focus on altered health opens with anassessment chapter. This chapter draws on the student’s prerequisite knowledge and serves to reinforce basic principlesof anatomy and physiology as applied to assessment in bothhealth and illness. Following the assessment chapter, nursing care chapters provide information about major illnessesand traumatic injuries. Each nursing care chapter follows aconsistent format, including the following key components:Pathophysiology and Risk FactorsThe discussion of each major illness or injury begins withincidence and prevalence, risk factors, and an overview ofpathophysiology, followed by manifestations (signs andsymptoms) and complications. Selected Focus on CulturalDiversity boxes demonstrate how race, age, and gender affect differences in incidence, prevalence, and mortality.Manifestations and ComplicationsTo further describe major illnesses, manifestations including signs and symptoms, antecedents, and subsequentclinical symptoms commonly seen are described for eachcondition. Common complications are also described toprovide important information to allow anticipation of potential problems.Interprofessional CareInterprofessional care considers diagnosis and treatmentby the healthcare team. The section includes information,as appropriate, about specific tests necessary for diagnosis,medications, surgery and other treatments, fluid management, dietary management, and complementary and alternative therapies. Specific information with related nursingcare is highlighted in Medication Administration boxes andboxes focused on the nursing care of patients having a specific treatment or surgery.CareNursing Care of PatientsNursingwithWediscuss nursing assessment and care within a contextoutcomes, and intervenIntegumentary Disordersof priorities of care, diagnoses,tions, with rationales providedThe 50 chapters in this text are organized into units basedon alterations in human structure and function.

Chapter 3, Nursing Care of the Patient with Alterations ofSleep, which describes commonly seen sleep disorders.The greatest strength of the chapter is that it demonstrates the linkage between sleep and health and thebidirectional nature of sleep and health. Recognizing the overwhelming number and variety ofmedications nurses must safely administer, the mostcommonly prescribed drugs are printed in blue typein the Medication Administration features. Transitions of Care replaces the section previously titledContinuity of Care. This section focuses on the nurse’sresponsibility for preparing the patient and caregiversfor transitions of care from one healthcare setting toanother or to the home.ixA01 LEMO8189 07 SE FM.indd 901/12/2018 03:54

Chapter Features15.2 Assessing the Integumentary SystemAssessment Addressing the first stepin the nursing process, the assessmentfeature provides a review of the objectiveand subjective data needed to providea clear clinical picture of the condition.Techniques and normal findings arecompared to abnormal findings. Selectedassessments include detailed guidelinesfor psychomotor skills used to assess the106Chaptersystem.18 Assessing the Endocrine Systemorgan11Integumentary AssessmentsTechnique and NormalFindings (in italics)Abnormal FindingsInspect skin color and note any odorscoming from the skin.Skin color should be even, appropriate to theage and race of the patient, without foul odors. Inspect the skin for lesions and alterations,including calluses, scars, tattoos, andpiercings. Include inspection of skincreases and folds.Skin should be intact without lesions. A strong odor of perspiration may indicate poor hygiene and a need for patient teaching. A foul odormay indicate a disorder of the sweat glands.Pallor and/or cyanosis are seen with exposure to cold and with decreased perfusion and oxygenation.In cyanotic dark-skinned patients, skin loses glow and appears dull. Cyanosis may be more visible inthe mucous membranes and nail beds of these patients. In dark-skinned patients, jaundice may be most apparent in the sclerae of the eyes. Redness, swelling, and pain are seen with various rashes, inflammations, infections, and burns. Firstdegree (superficial) burns cause areas of painful erythema and swelling. Red, painful blisters appearin second-degree (partial-thickness) burns, whereas white or blackened areas are common in thirddegree (full-thickness) burns. Vitiligo, an abnormal loss of melanin in patches, typically occurs over the face, hands, or groin. Vitiligois thought to be an autoimmune disorder. Diagnostic TestsPrimary, secondary, and vascular lesions are described and shown in Tables 15.4 through 15.6.Pearly edged nodules with a central ulcer are seen in basal cell carcinoma.Scaly, red, fast-growing papules are seen in squamous cell carcinoma.Dark, asymmetric, multicolored patches (sometimes moles) with irregular edges appear in malignantmelanoma.Circular lesions are usually present in ringworm and in tinea versicolor.Grouped vesicles may be seen in contact dermatitis.Linear lesions appear in poison ivy and herpes zoster.Urticaria (hives) appears
