Abstract

Foundations of Nursing Skills: A Comprehensive Guide for the Australian Context is an essential textbook designed to equip nursing students with the fundamental knowledge and skills required for effective clinical practice in diverse healthcare settings. Tailored specifically for the Australian context, this book integrates culturally sensitive approaches to nursing care, including addressing the unique health needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

This comprehensive textbook covers a wide range of foundational nursing skills, including body systems assessment, communication, medication administration, wound care, and infection control. Each chapter provides detailed explanations of key concepts, accompanied by practical guidelines and evidence-based practices.

Moreover, this textbook integrates case studies, reflection questions, and learning activities to facilitate critical thinking and application of knowledge. By engaging with real-world scenarios and culturally diverse contexts, students will develop the skills and confidence needed to deliver holistic and person-centred care to individuals, families, and communities.

Written by a team of experienced nursing educators and practitioners, Foundations of Nursing Skills:A Comprehensive Guide for the Australian Context is an invaluable resource for nursing students, educators, and healthcare professionals committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based, culturally responsive and equitable healthcare services.
