Cover of Colin Baker & Helen Swain: Principles of Science for Nurses (PDF)

This very basic textbook aims to provide nursing students with the
essential bioscience they will need to complete their Common
Foundation Programme.

The book will explore the relevant basic scientific principles,
apply these principles to clinical situations and then ask review
questions. For anyone who has not studied science before this will
be an excellent introduction to the key concepts of chemistry,
physics and biology, as applied to nursing.
