Medical-Surgical Nursing Procedures

Safe and effective patient care depends on understanding the purpose, preparation, and correct performance of clinical procedures. Medical-Surgical Nursing Procedures provides a structured overview of the nursing procedures commonly encountered in adult medical-surgical settings, explaining the principles behind each skill and the nursing responsibilities before, during, and after patient care. Topics include patient preparation, infection prevention, medication administration, specimen collection, wound care, intravenous therapy, catheterization, oxygen therapy, enteral feeding, and other frequently performed nursing procedures.

Written as a general educational learning resource, this first edition is intended to support nursing students and healthcare learners as they develop procedural knowledge alongside classroom and clinical education. Clear explanations and an organized presentation help readers understand the rationale, safety considerations, and patient-centered practices associated with essential medical-surgical nursing procedures.
