Description
This clinical reference promotes critical thinking and emphasizes client care, by helping the reader make the best possible decisions for 130 medical-surgical conditions and procedures. For each condition, it provides a summary of pathophysiology and then focuses on specific nursing interventions, based upon research and real-world practice. An A-to-Z organization within chapters, thumb tabs, a consistent format, and specially designed icons make this a quick access, easy-to-use reference. Part 1: Decision Making presents essential, clinical information on 57 common nursing procedures, including cardiac assessment and hemodialysis. Part 2: Applied Decision Making is system-oriented and covers patient care for 73 medical-surgical conditions.
