Musculoskeletal and Skin Nursing Cheat Sheets PDF | Fractures, Casts, Traction, Pressure Injuries, Burns, Wound Care | NCLEX Study Guide

Bones, joints, wounds and burns for nursing school, on 26 printable pages: the 6 Ps, fractures, casts, traction, hip and knee care, pressure injuries, burns and skin.

This all-in-one musculoskeletal and skin guide is written in plain language with tables, quick cards and memory tricks on every page. I'm Anna, RN, BSN, PHN, a nurse educator who has been helping nursing students pass their exams through NurseStudy.Net since 2012. It covers the ortho and integumentary topics that show up on med-surg exams and the NCLEX, plus 25 practice questions and a recall drill. It pairs well with my Respiratory, Neuro, Endocrine and GI-Renal Cheat Sheets.
