This title is praised for its comprehensive coverage and clear organization and is the go-to critical care nursing book for both practicing nurses and nursing students preparing for clinicals. In the information technology/informatics category, which includes content about nursing’s role and the use of electronic media, *Health Informatics: An Interprofessional Approach*, by Ramona Nelson and Nancy Staggers, earned a first place award. This first-edition title covers a wide range of skills and systems, preparing students for work in today’s technology filled clinical field. Topics include clinical decision support, clinical documentation, provider order entry systems, system implementation, electronic health record (EHR) adoption issues and more. Finally, *Mosby’s Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professions*, edited by Marie T. O’Toole, 9th edition, earned a second place award in the medical-surgical nursing category, which includes works presenting the complex clinical needs and comprehensive diagnoses of patients in various settings such as an adult hospital unit, home care or long-term care.
