This text grows out of the belief that nurses and physicians do
not compete with each other but instead collaborate to reach certain
outcomes in cooperation with the client and family. However
because nursing and medicine are collaborative efforts. It is often
difficult for nursing student to understand one without having

features called pathophysiology/ treatment algorithms. These
features presented on such topics as understanding asthma and its
treatment. Critical monitoring features highlight for the students.

without delay. Care plans summarize the nursing diagnosis,
outcomes, interventions and rationales and evaluation, criteria for
selected disorders. The bridge to evidence based practice features
examine an integrative review of research evidence for a specific
topic by identifying the research questions. Studies examines finding
of the studies, limitations and application to practice. Because of the
growing importance of being able to think critically as a nurse. To
give the student clues about how to think through those clinical
problems each exercise includes one or more factors to consider.
Cognitive and perceptional disorders like assessment of neurological
system management of comatose or confused clients. Generalized
seizures classified very wells. Client education guide such as
migraine, headache, common clinical manifestation in each stage of
elements. In stage of dementia of the Alzheimer’s theory, Treat
