One of the most important highlight of this book is that it is written strictly according to the latest syllabus prescribed by the Nursing Council of India (NCI) for BSc. Nursing course. That way, the entire information given in the book is important for the examination as well as it would serve as a base for responsibilities as a nurse in the hospital at a later stage. Extraneous and useless topics have not been discussed. This format has led to the reasonable size of the book. It is not uselessly bulky. In the syllabus prescribed by NCI, teaching hours are allotted to each unit. In this book care has been taken that the contents of each chapter can be taught in the time allotted. The second important feature of this book is that it is written by a highly qualified and experienced teacher. The author has MBBS, MD, as well as PhD degrees and over five decades of teaching experience. His deep insight in the subject has resulted in the third important feature, i.e., the book is concise, yet comprehensive and written in clear and simple language. The fourth important feature is a clear cut description of applied aspects and implications of the topics in nursing which help the nursing students to appreciate the usefulness of the knowledge of anatomy and physiology in nursing practice. These aspects have been explained in a simple student-friendly language. In this part of the text, nursing students are introduced to common medical terms, some common medical disorders and procedures based on relevance to human anatomy and physiology. In this way, nursing students would be equipped to analyse the clinical situations they would face in their professional career.
