Nursing is a noble profession, where every nurse is obliged to provide expected quality of care. Today, the image of nurses has improved that every nurse and midwife can upgrade themselves to the level of nurse practitioner and they are allowed to practice independently. Therefore, more responsibility rely on nurse educators, who mould the budding students to future nurses to practice nursing flawlessly.
It gives me immense pleasure to present this upgraded second edition of Textbook of Nursing Foundation. First of all, I would like to thank my Lord Almighty, Who has showered me with blessings to complete this task. Basically, this book is for BSc Nursing students to learn all the theory and practical aspects of nursing foundations that become the root for all student nurses to lay foundations in their nursing career.
This textbook is designed with 24 chapters based on revised syllabus framed by Indian Nursing Council. Each chapter is enriched with needed tables and diagrams, narrated with lucid language from the examination point of view. Every nursing student who reads this book will gain adequate knowledge that will enable him/her to practice nursing procedures, and will also do his/her examination well.
I wish all the best for all the students!
