Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Student Nurses Book

Anatomy & Physiology are core components of the nursing curriculum. All nursing and healthcare students must have a basic understanding of the make up of the human body. In order for students to care safely and effectively for people who are ill or to prevent ill health it is vital that they have a good understanding of anatomy and physiology. This book intends to develop the student's knowledge and skills both in theory and practice and to apply this knowledge in order to provide safe and effective high quality care. It is not only intended as a valuable textbook for their lectures but also as a reference resource to take with them and use in the practice setting (wherever this may be). It should be noted that this is a crowded market. However analysis of the content of the competition and anecdotal experience reveals that the subject matter is often provided in such a manner that readers may find these books forbidding and unfathomable (in some instances students feel the sheer size of the text puts them off) leading to difficulty for the reader to comprehend and as such apply the principles.This is an utterly accessible student-friendly and UK specific book on the subject that's extremely interactive in style. * Fully interactive with fill in the blanks exercises word searches MCQs diagram labelling exercises crosswords etc * Case studies and Clinical Application boxes throughout who how the material can be applied to daily practice * Full colour illustrations throughout * An engaging writing style helps to explain the most difficult concepts * A companion website where you'll find further exercises and illustrations
