5 Star review from Doody's Review service
While there are many books that provide information about medical and nursing care of patients with a variety of conditions, this classic text represents a comprehensive compendium of both, written for practicing nurses and nursingstudents alike.

Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice delivers exactly what nurses need: clear, evidence-based information in a practical, easy-to-use format. It is well organized, with content condensed into lists, tables, and key points, making it incredibly accessible. Instead of getting lost in pages of dense text, readers can quickly find what matters most and apply it directly to patient care. I appreciate this text’s strong emphasis on prevention, health maintenance, and patient education. Too often, clinical resources focus narrowly on disease treatment, but this manual reminds us that nursing is just as much about teaching, guiding, and supporting patients to stay well. Each section is anchored in EBP and tied directly to nursing care considerations, which makes the material both reliable and actionable.
