Textbook of Advanced Nursing Practice, 2/E for MSc Nursing Students as per INC Syllabus | Theories, Healthcare Delivery, Genetics, Epidemiology and Evidence-based Practice with PYQs and Flash Cards

Textbook of Advanced Nursing Practice, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive MSc Nursing First Year textbook built to the Indian Nursing Council syllabus and the requirements of India's Health Sciences Universities. Written in simple, self-explanatory language and supported throughout by illustrations, it goes beyond an examination guide to serve as an application-oriented resource for academics, clinical practice and research, with essential nursing theories and conceptual models explained alongside their real-world implementation. The book is organized across six units spanning the full breadth of the MSc Nursing 1st year curriculum: Nursing as a Profession (history, legal and ethical practice, regulatory bodies, quality assurance, collective bargaining), Healthcare Delivery System (healthcare planning, national health programs, telemedicine and telenursing), Genetics (genetic disorders, testing, counseling and its nursing applications), Epidemiology (descriptive and experimental methods and their healthcare application), Biopsychosocial Pathology (homeostatic problems, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, infection prevention including HIV and COVID-19, evidence-based practice, innovations in nursing), and Philosophy and Theories of Nursing (major theorists including Nightingale, Henderson, Abdellah and Watson). This edition adds key new topics rarely found in comparable books, including transcultural nursing, team nursing, genetic centers in India, and nursing informatics, and pairs the printed text with a complimentary online student resource of previous-year questions and flash cards. Who This Book Is For: MSc Nursing Students: chapter-by-chapter coverage matched to the INC syllabus for MSc Nursing 1st year, reinforced with online PYQs and flash cards for revision. Nursing Tutors and Educators: expert-reviewed theory, models and real-life practical examples suited for classroom teaching and curriculum planning. Practicing Nurses: application-oriented content on quality assurance, evidence-based practice and nursing management for use directly in clinical and administrative settings. Why This Book Helps: Covers the full postgraduate syllabus in one book: six units carry a first-year MSc Nursing student from professional foundations through pathology, epidemiology, genetics and nursing theory without needing separate references.
