Foundations of Nursing
White's Foundations of Nursing would serve as an excellent choice for use in courses that teach the basics of nursing, noted for its comprehensive tone and the author's unique ability to speak on myriad intellectual levels. Further, the text is full of well-placed diagrams that are both pleasing to the eye as well as vital to the information being presented. Basically, Lois White has created a user-friendly textbook that provides the novice nurse with an excellent review of disease processes and medical, surgical and pharmacologic treatment options necessary to maximize patient care, covering all the important aspects of nursing assessment, planning and intervention.     - John Aiello, Electric Review
