Principles & Practice of Nursing: Art of Nursing Procedures (Vol 1), 2/E for GNM/BSc Nursing Students | Step-by-Step Rationale Tables for Bed Making, Vital Signs and First Aid

Principles & Practice of Nursing: Art of Nursing Procedures (Volume 1), 2nd Edition is a foundational fundamentals-of-nursing textbook built around the revised Indian Nursing Council (INC) syllabus. Structured across 34 chapters, it works through the complete range of basic nursing procedures a nursing student must master, from communication and documentation through vital signs, asepsis, bed making, positioning, first aid, and hand washing. Every procedure chapter follows a consistent, easy-to-follow Steps-of-Procedure and Rationale table format, pairing each nursing action directly with the scientific reason behind it rather than presenting it as a rote checklist. Bed-making technique is illustrated step by step with line diagrams and real procedure photographs covering eight distinct bed types — closed, open, occupied, operation, cardiac, fracture, amputation/stump, and blanket/renal beds. Beyond core skills, the book extends into contemporary nursing practice with dedicated chapters on Clinical Teaching, Robotic Surgeries and nursing's role in operating-theater technology, Total Parenteral Nutrition, and professional topics such as Euthanasia and Hospice, Sexuality, Stress and Adaptation, Self-concept, and Cultural Diversity and Spirituality. Who This Book Is For: GNM Students: covers the complete fundamentals-of-nursing procedure syllabus prescribed by the revised INC curriculum, chapter by chapter. BSc Nursing Students: doubles as a skills-lab reference for basic nursing procedures and for demonstrated-and-redemonstrated practice sessions. Nursing Tutors & Educators: a dedicated Clinical Teaching chapter covers the prerequisites, purposes, types, and qualities of a clinical instructor for structuring ward-side teaching. Why This Book Helps: Connects action to reasoning: the Steps-of-Procedure/Rationale table format used throughout means every nursing action is learned along with why it is performed, not just how. Builds correct technique visually: line diagrams and real procedure photographs for skills like bed making and hand washing reduce ambiguity during skills-lab practice and clinical postings. Prepares for the full range of bed types: dedicated procedure and requisites tables for all eight specialized bed types, including cardiac, fracture, amputation, and blanket/renal beds, fill a gap many fundamentals texts cover only partially. Extends beyond classical basics: chapters on the nurse's role in robotic surgery and on Total Parenteral Nutrition keep the fundamentals text relevant to current hospital technology and specialized patient care. Supports the whole nurse, not just the technician: chapters on sexuality, stress and adaptation, self-concept, and cultural diversity address the psychosocial competencies the revised INC curriculum expects alongside procedural skill. Key Features: 34 chapters spanning communication, documentation, vital signs, asepsis, PPE, bed making, comfort devices, positioning, pain assessment, restraints, admission/discharge, ROM exercises, and first aid. Consistent Steps-of-Procedure/Rationale table format applied to every nursing procedure, demonstrated with an 18-step bed-making sequence as a representative example. Eight bed-making techniques covered in full — closed, open, occupied, operation/post-anesthesia, cardiac, fracture, amputation/stump, and blanket/renal beds — each with its own requisites-and-rationale table. Dedicated First Aid section covering the First Aid Kit, resuscitation, and bandaging techniques as standalone sub-chapters. Contemporary practice chapters on Robotic Surgeries (nurse's role and Da Vinci instruments), Total Parenteral Nutrition, and Euthanasia and Hospice extend the text beyond a purely classical fundamentals syllabus.
