Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing Practice by Jennifer Boore

Effective, holistic nursing is impossible without a firm grasp of how the human body functions, but knowledge of the scientific theory on its own is not enough. Written with the needs of nurses firmly in mind and using the person-centred practice framework as a guiding principle, this book brings anatomy and physiology to life, combining the best of print and online learning into one integrated package. Key features: Connects theory with nursing practice by exploring the science from the perspective of a fictional family Uses a rich array of full-colour figures, diagrams, and video material including interactive figures, animations and mini-tutorials – perfect for visual learners Full of engaging activities designed to complement self-directed learning. Supported by a collection of digital resources, including 170 online multiple choice questions, over 800 revision flashcards, and complete access to videos, animations, revision material and action plans.

I absolutely recommend this book! There’s a lot of colourful diagrams and tables,which I find amazing because it helps me visualise things and that’s a great way to revise, if you can visualise and see something, rather than just reading it, it’s going to help you massively

‘The inclusion of the fictional family makes the rather dry subject of anatomy and physiology come alive. As this is not hospital but patient based, it also gives the book a health focus which is often missing. The interactive nature of the book and the four stages of learning are also features that I particularly like - it recognises the different ways in which students now learn.’ 
-- David Gallimore

The book is extremely well illustrated in colour throughout and contains a wealth of diagrams, tables and learning activities. The authors have included a fictional family in this resource and have effectively integrated each individual throughout the text, which very much brings the learning to life and provides that vital link between anatomy and physiology and nursing practice.

I would highly recommend this high-quality resource to all students pursuing a career in nursing, as it will significantly contribute to their overall learning experience.

‘Nursing students will benefit enormously from the clear explanations, informative videos, colourful diagrams and simple and easy to remember definitions of key concepts.’ 
-- Harry Chummun
‘A well-presented and clear book that should enable student nurses at all levels to establish a sound understanding of A&P related to clinical practice.’ 
-- Donal Deehan
‘The use of patient case studies and links to practice is something that has been less clearly focused upon in other A&P textbooks and will be extremely helpful in making the concepts within A&P ′real′ for student nurses.’
-- Jane Turner
‘A clear strength of this book is how it situates anatomy and physiology within a philosophical framework of nursing care (namely the Person-Centred Practice Framework of McCormack and McCance, 2016). Anatomy and physiology are often taught separately from the psycho-social aspects of care. This can make it difficult for students to apply and integrate their knowledge of human anatomy to patient care. The philosophical framework developed by the authors of this book will go a long way towards developing truly holistic nursing care. Students will develop a clear understanding of how human anatomy and physiology underpin safe and effective nursing care and clinical decision-making.’
