5Preface
It gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction to introduce “Essentials of Medical Surgical Nursing” to nursing community. In offering this text, I remain grateful for the support given to my all titles on Nursing and who have provided constructive feedback as well as encouraging commands.
This book is intended to provide an easily comprehensible, non-intimidating and concise text on the subject matter of Medical Surgical Nursing to the nursing students. There was a felt need among nursing students and teachers to have a handy book on “Medical Surgical Nursing” which caters to the needs of Indian situation. It has been written in accordance with the needs of the present existing syllabus prescribed for the nursing course at degree level. The information provided is based on established knowledge and practice and also backed by scientific principles. Every attempt has been made to maintain simplicity and lucidity of language and style.
I hope, this book will continue to serve as good source not only for nursing students but also a source reference and revision to the nurses who are in service and educational settings.
I am aware of manifold reasons, errors might have crept in. I shall feel obliged, if such errors are brought to my notice. I sincerely, welcome constructive criticism from readers that would help me to enrich my knowledge.
