Each chapter in this fourth edition is completely revised and updated, addressing national registration regulations and standards in Australia and New Zealand. There is a new chapter on Acute Care and the book's content takes a critical-thinking approach, promoting student engagement and reflection, not rote learning. Clinical examples and critical-thinking questions feature in each chapter of Potter and Perry's Fundamentals of Nursing ANZ edition for deeper understanding. Current research examples encourage Australian and New Zealand nursing students to see the dynamic and evolving nature of evidence for nursing practice and gain understanding that ongoing change in practice is the norm.

It is supported by the Fundamentals of Nursing study guide app, and its nursing skills align with Fundamentals of Nursing: clinical skills workbook, 2nd edition written by Australian author team Geraldine Rebeiro, Leanne Jack and Natashia Scully.
