Med-Surg Nursing Clinical HBK is a free iPhone app developed by Skyscape Medpresso Inc. It falls under the category of Education & Reference with a subcategory of Medicine. This app serves as a clinical handbook companion to Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing 14th Edition.

With this app, nurses can access selected topics from the textbook for free. However, only about 10% of the content is available in the free version. Tapping on locked topics will prompt users to make in-app purchases to unlock additional content.

The app is organized alphabetically, making it easy to navigate and quickly find information on nearly 200 diseases and disorders commonly encountered in nursing practice. Each disorder entry provides essential details such as pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, assessment and diagnostic findings, as well as medical, surgical, and pharmacologic management. The nursing management section follows the nursing process, ensuring comprehensive care.

One notable feature of Med-Surg Nursing Clinical HBK is the inclusion of best practices and warnings for priority care issues and potentially hazardous situations. This helps nurses confidently address critical situations and make informed decisions.

The app also includes gerontologic considerations and interventions specifically tailored to the care of older adult patients, providing valuable insights for nurses working with this population. Additionally, important lab values can be easily referenced in the appendix.

Overall, Med-Surg Nursing Clinical HBK is a valuable pocket guide for nurses, offering essential information in a convenient and accessible format. Its integration with Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing 14th Edition makes it a reliable resource for nursing practice.
