The book covers a large amount of relevant content and nearly all of the theory content that I typically cover in my fundamentals course. It does not, however, cover the nursing skills that I review in lecture and that students practice in the lab portion of the course. Yet, the same editors (Ernstmeyer & Christman) also provide a separate OER entitled Nursing Skills which covers everything that Nursing Fundamentals does not. So, I have named both books (Nursing Fundamentals AND Nursing Skills) as required resources for the course. Nursing Skills contains the skill checklists and videos, as well as sample documentation, that are associated with the theory content. One topic not covered in Nursing Fundamentals is medication administration. For the 2-3 weeks that we spend on this topic, students will use primarily the Nursing Skills OER.

Additionally, in the past, students have purchased a textbook package that also includes digital quizzing and virtual simulations. Both Nursing Fundamentals and Nursing Skills have sections titled “Learning Activities” which include interactive case studies, quizzes and simulations that incorporate NGN NCLEX-style questions. I plan to use these activities during class. I would like to be able to assign these activities but, as far as I can tell, there is no way to view student performance and ensure that they are being completed.

Finally, LibreText ADAPT is a test bank of quiz and exam questions that faculty can draw from. It feels good to have this support, but I will continue to use the exams that I have created in the past for now. Any supplementation to the course will be minor and well worth the hundreds of dollars in savings to students.

Content Accuracy rating: 5

Content is accurate and aligns with what is being taught in nursing fundamentals courses. The material perfectly compliments my lecture PowerPoints as they are. I will not need to change anything and can simply assign readings and activities from the book. I have not encountered any errors.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

Content is up-to-date. Sources are current and at most, only a few years old. Sources are evidence-based and reliable. They are cited at the bottom of each individual content page and are hyperlinked for easy access.

Clarity rating: 5

The text is clear and concise. The headings are helpful for organizing information and key terms are bolded. The presentation is visually appealing and easy to understand. The pages are easy to navigate. I believe that students will appreciate the simplicity and clarity of the pages.

Consistency rating: 5

Each book section and page is formatted in the same way. Students will know what to expect as they access each new chapter. Quality and quantity of information is also consistent across the book.

Modularity rating: 5

This is my favorite feature of this book. I believe that students will greatly appreciate and benefit from the concise reading sections. It seems to me that this generation of students does not like to read and that that they do not learn best by reading. Yet, they need and want a place where they can go for clarification or an alternate explanation of a topic. With the short readings, they can find answers to their questions quickly. Also, the pictures and video links are visually appealing and attractive to students. Additionally, I like how I can easily link relevant sections and assignments directly in the syllabus, course calendar and online learning platform. I can have the confidence that students are getting reliable information and students can directly access information in a way that better agrees with their preferred learning style.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 5

Each chapter begins with an introduction and then presents related topics in a logical order. Chapters contain 6-12 topics, and topics are appropriately separated. The last section in each chapter is titled “Putting it all Together” and includes a relevant patient scenario and application of the nursing process.

Interface rating: 5

I have not experienced any interface issues in the several months that I have been using this book. LibreText provides options for "Readability." Students can adjust text and margin size, as well as color gradients that allow for ease and efficiency of reading. There is also a "Reader Mode" that eliminates the website navigation information and decreases distractions while reading. Additionally, there is a scientific calculator in the "Tools" section. This is helpful for this course, because students must often complete medication math problems. I like the accessibility options included in this program.

Grammatical Errors rating: 5

I have not noticed any grammatical errors.

Cultural Relevance rating: 5

The end-of-chapter patient scenarios include a variety of patient types. Chapter 3 is titled ‘Diverse Patients’ and includes information on health disparities as well as how to perform an appropriate cultural assessment and provide culturally competent care. Additionally, the content can be translated into 133 different languages with Google Translate. In some cases, Google Translate can use “conversation mode” to provide an audio version of the content.

In addition to being able to access a free digital copy of the book, students can also download a FREE pdf version of this book and/or purchase a copy of the book at the following prices: Paperback: Grayscale ($40.47) Full Color ($55.48); Hardcover: Grayscale ($50.70) Full Color ($65.78).

LibreText offers the following tips for working with a PDF: “Encourage students to use a program like Adobe Reader, iBooks, or Notability to download, read, and annotate the PDF. These tools allow for highlighting, commenting, bookmarking, etc, that will make interacting with the file easier than reading it in the web browser. Here is a list of 15 free PDF readers Links to an external site.(though not all of them support highlighting and annotating). This resource from Reed CollegeLinks to an external site. It provides helpful tips for using Adobe Reader and Preview for Mac. Students can use Ctrl-F (the command for "find"), which helps find a particular point in a long PDF document.”

Overall, the book covers topics expected of nursing fundamentals textbooks. Some topics are developed very well such as therapeutic communication strategies, writing SMART outcomes, and highlighting Watson's caring theory. Other topics would benefit from futher development such as the role of the nurse as the teacher applying learning theory principles to patient education. The text does a good job introducing the challenges faced by older adults, and would benefit readers by expanding on the developmental stages of other age groups. Only cursory references are made to theorists Piaget and Erikson.

No errors noted with the information. The authors successfully impart unbiased content with the exception of predominantly Caucasian images and models. Up to date information addresses the social determinants of health and health care disparities.

The electronic nature of this textbook allows for updating ease. The use of and emphasis on nursing diagnoses seems to be waning and this topic may be one of the areas of the textbook that will require modification.

Sections are succinct and easily readable. The glossaries and flash cards assist with mastering common medical terminology.

Each section is set up similarly. The reader can anticipate the review exercises at the conclusion of each section.

Each unit presents small "chunks" of information appropriately. The reader is not overwhelmed with a very large section under a single heading. I antipcate that learners would be more adherent with reading assignments using this format.

The arrangement of topics is done very well starting with a "big picture" of the nursing profession then gradually narrowing down to very specific topics.

The electronic version worked well for jumping from link to link. Some images had such high definition that every pore and blackhead was visible on the model's face. The learning activities also worked well. The pdf version contains many blank pages and more effort is required of the reader to try the links and explore the learning activities.

No grammar errors encountered.

Cultural Relevance rating: 4

The proportion of images and models that represent people of color is small. This could be shored up.

Nurse educators often classify teaching content as, "Need to know, nice to know, or nuts to know". This textbook exemplifies the "need to know" & has eliminated the superfluous and/or detailed content. Overall, I believe nursing students would be more likely to complete reading assignments from this textbook as it is succinct and provides activities that help solidify concepts.

Includes all topics covered in our fundamentals nursing curriculum. The two topics not included in detail in this textbook are nursing skills and nursing assessments, but these resources are included via hyperlinks to other texts covering this content within this fundamentals textbook.

The text contains accurate photos, tables, and figures to help visual learners and depict current equipment.

Most fundamental topics are straightforward and universal. Some content that may be outdated are the NANDA-I diagnoses since these are no longer included on the NCLEX-RN. Nursing problems terminology have now replaced NANDA-I.

There is a glossary included at the end of each chapter to review unfamiliar bold-faced terms within the text. This book is written at a nursing fundamentals student level. Nursing interventions are explained in simple terms and include photos and tables to depict details further.

Each chapter follows the same sequence (nursing process) and ends with application exercises including "Putting it all Together" and "Learning Activities."

Text is very organized, predictable, and divisible.

Text is very organized, systematic, and logical.

There were some errors noted within the context. There are also many blank pages between information and the labeling for the tables are on separate pages, which may be very confusing to a reader.

Content Accuracy rating: 3

There was some information that could be correct, such as the ISBARR examples. I believe the information listed under the situation, background, and assessment needs to be under the correct title. In the nursing diagnosis examples, there is conflicting information regarding the risk for nursing diagnosis. When it's potential, there are two parts of the nursing diagnosis: the problem and the related factors due to there is no evidence since it has not happened. The text states to include the problem and as evidence for a risk for diagnosis. When also stating if a goal has been met with evaluating a patient for their plan of care, it's best to list it as "Goal met, Goal partially met, or Goal met." The mnemonic for pain is "OLD CARTS," not "OLDCARTES," which I had looked up within other resources to see if there is an update, and every resource I found still states "OLD CARTS."

Relevance/Longevity rating: 3

The accuracy of the information that is stated needs to be updated in areas. Please review the information listed under accuracy.

Information is clear and explained in layman's terms.

Consistency rating: 3

Please refer to the comment under accuracy.

Modularity rating: 4

There are many blank pages noted between each section of information while reading the information.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 3

The information flows well, except there are many blank pages noted between each information section while reading the information.

Interface rating: 3

The labeling for the tables doesn't always go with the information, and we cannot view some information. For example, in table 3.2b, part of the table is cut off over cultural concepts and cannot view information. Now, if this is a hard copy, some of the links would not be clicked on, making this textbook an ebook only.

No grammatical errors noted.

This textbook was not insensitive or offensive in any way to any culture.

By reviewing the textbook and changing the information provided, I believe this would be a great textbook. This textbook appears to be more at an Associate degree level for nursing students than a Bachelor in Science of Nursing degree.

About the book.

This Nursing Fundamentals textbook is an open educational resource with CC-BY licensing developed for entry-level nursing students. Content is based on the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) statewide nursing curriculum for the Nursing Fundamentals course (543-101), the 2019 NCLEX-RN Test Plan, the 2020 NCLEX-PN Test Plan, and the Wisconsin Nurse Practice Act.

This book introduces the entry-level nursing student to the scope of nursing practice, various communication techniques, and caring for diverse patients. The nursing process is used as a framework for providing patient care based on the following nursing concepts: safety, oxygenation, comfort, spiritual well-being, grief and loss, sleep and rest, mobility, nutrition, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and elimination. Care for patients with integumentary disorders and cognitive or sensory impairments is also discussed. Learning activities have been incorporated into each chapter to encourage students to use critical thinking while applying content to patient care situations.

Comprehensive Textbook of Nursing Education

by Jaspreet Kaur Sodhi

Nursing practice is both the source and goal of nursing knowledge. Selecting and creating effective nursing education method relies on an understanding that the content of nursing encompasses the goals and methods of the practice of nursing and the integral connections with distinctive practice-related knowledge. This book “Comprehensive Textbook of Nursing Education” has been written keeping in mind to cover the complete syllabi of the nursing education according to Indian Nursing Council (INC), New Delhi. The book comprises seventeen units. Chapters one to fifteen are according to the INC syllabus for the MSc students. Chapter seventeen ‘Lesson Planning and Educational Objectives’ is sub-division of chapter two ‘Teaching and Learning Process.’ An additional chapter sixteen, ‘Information, Education and Communication (IEC) for Health’ has been incorporated in the book to accommodate the needs of the undergraduate students, such as communication, interpersonal relationship, educational objectives and IEC for health. The text is supported with suitable examples, e.g. calculation of item analysis, which will make the subject of nursing education more interesting. An additional attraction of this book are the annexures covering the practical dimension of nursing education. Annexures in the book include various formats, such as the format for lesson plan, cumulative record, and master rotation plan. This book provides integration of both the theory and practical elements.
