About this ebook
The Procedure Checklists for Wilkinson's Fundamentals of Nursing (5th Edition) by Leslie Treas, Karen Barnett, and Mable H. Smith acts as a companion workbook containing detailed, step-by-step checklists for over 165 common nursing procedures. [1]
The book is structured around a foundational, universal Principles-Based Procedure Checklist that establishes core nursing protocols (e.g., patient identification, hand hygiene, and documentation). Following this baseline framework, the manual outlines specialized protocols mapped directly across the core functional components of nursing education: [1, 2, 3]
Core Clinical & Assessment Procedures

- Physical Health Assessments: Step-by-step documentation for comprehensive body systems evaluations, including head and neck, chest and lungs, cardiovascular, abdomen, and sensory-neurological systems. []
- Patient Admission & Transfer: Administrative and clinical transitions including welcoming new admissions, executing unit transfers, and coordinating formal hospital discharges. [1, 2]
Safety, Asepsis, & Basic Care
- Infection Control: Strict clinical frameworks covering professional hand washing, setting up sterile fields, and standard protocols for donning/removing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). [, 2]
