Fundamentals of Nursing for General Nursing and Midwifery Including First Aid, 3/E for GNM 1st Year Students | As per INC Syllabus | Nursing Process, Assessment, Infection Control & First Aid

Fundamentals of Nursing for General Nursing and Midwifery Including First Aid, 3rd Edition is a foundational GNM textbook prepared strictly in accordance with the current Nursing Syllabus, built to take a first-year student from classroom theory straight through to bedside practice. It is structured across 8 comprehensive units that progress logically: an introduction to nursing and healthcare systems, nursing care of the patient, meeting a patient's basic needs, patient/client assessment, infection control, therapeutic nursing care, an introduction to clinical pharmacology, and a full dedicated unit on First Aid. Each unit opens with clearly stated Learning Objectives, and nursing-process steps are consistently paired with an explicit Rationale, so the reasoning behind every action is as clear as the action itself. Content is reinforced with comparison and reference tables (equipment and supplies, general survey observations, assessment-versus-deviation charts), highlighted Critical Decision Point callouts, and real clinical photographs that walk through actual nursing procedures step by step rather than relying on generic stock art. The First Aid unit alone covers first aid principles, dressing/bandaging/splinting, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and external cardiac massage, and structured emergency response to hemorrhage, shock, drowning, burns, poisoning, and community disasters — making this as much a ready emergency-response reference as it is a course textbook. Who This Book Is For: GNM 1st Year Students: covers the complete first-year Fundamentals/Foundations of Nursing paper, unit by unit, as per the INC-aligned Nursing Syllabus. GNM Students (all years): works as a running reference for nursing-process, assessment, and infection-control fundamentals revisited throughout the course. Nursing Tutors and Educators: doubles as a classroom-ready faculty handbook, with objectives, rationale-based teaching points, and structured procedure walkthroughs built in. Why This Book Helps: Builds the nursing process step by step: assessment, diagnosis, and planning are each broken down with a clear rationale, so you understand why a step matters, not just what it is. Turns head-to-toe assessment into a repeatable skill: inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, and olfaction are each explained and then applied system by system. Demystifies infection control: medical and surgical asepsis, standard precautions, and biomedical waste management are covered as practical, applicable routines. Puts emergency response within reach: CPR, bandaging, splinting, and first aid for common emergencies are consolidated in one place instead of scattered across multiple references. Bridges theory and bedside practice: real procedure photographs and Critical Decision Point notes connect textbook concepts to what you will actually do on the ward. Key Features: 8 complete units spanning the entire GNM Fundamentals of Nursing (including First Aid) syllabus. Learning Objectives stated at the start of every unit for focused, syllabus-aligned study. Comparison and reference tables throughout (e.g., equipment and supplies lists, odor and sign tables, general survey observation charts). Real clinical photographs demonstrating hands-on procedures, from vital-sign assessment techniques to cardiac landmark palpation. A dedicated First Aid unit covering CPR, dressing/bandaging/splinting, and structured responses to hemorrhage, shock, burns, poisoning, and community emergencies.
