Theoretical Basis for Nursing

Providing an essential overview of nursing theory in a
single, straightforward text, Theoretical Basis for Nursing,
6th Edition, equips students with the knowledge and
understanding to apply nursing theory to practice and
improve as nurses. Unlike some nursing theory texts, this
AJN Award-winning resource goes beyond demonstrating
the application of theory to teach students—regardless of
their level of experience in theory—to think critically and
analyze, evaluate, and apply theories with confidence.
This updated 6th Edition remains the most concise and
contemporary nursing theory text available, reflecting
the growing professional emphasis on clinical judgment,
evidence-based practice, situation-specific theories, and their relationship to theory in nursing. Extensively
researched, easy to read, and rich with engaging learning features, this acclaimed text provides
nursing students and practicing nurses alike with an approachable guide to being a better nurse.
