Acute Medical Emergencies: A Nursing Guide

Acute Medical Emergencies: A Nursing Guide Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book concentrates on the care the patient needs during the first crucial 24-hour period, whether in the "take ward" or conventional medical unit. Written by a consultant physician and a senior nurse, it concentrates on the most common causes of admission, and describes the principles of medical and nursing management. The text is peppered with short case vignettes, and the nursing inputs are highlighted with section heads such as, "Five critical nursing tasks during the first 24 hours" in each of the conditions. The result is a discrete reference ideal for clinical use.
