Overview

Nursing Foundations – I
Building confident, compassionate, and skilled nurses from Day One – This carefully crafted textbook brings the revised Indian Nursing Council (INC) BSc Nursing syllabus to life, transforming foundational nursing concepts into clear, memorable, and practical knowledge.

Spanning 14 structured chapters, it guides students from the history and ethics of nursing to essential hands-on skills like health assessment, infection control, vital signs, patient safety, mobility, education, and first aid. Written in crisp, student-friendly language, each chapter blends the science of nursing with real-world application.

Tables, colour illustrations, photographs, and step-by-step procedures simplify complex topics, while evidence-based insights and critical thinking prompts encourage deeper understanding.
