Description
Nursing Know-How: Charting Patient Care offers how-to guidance on the latest techniques and trends in documentation, equipping nurses with the "know-how" to efficiently and accurately document patient care admission to discharge. The book is written in paragraph and bulleted format, with hundreds of sample filled-in forms and narrative notes that demonstrate the best and safest charting techniques.
Know-How icons offer expert advice on how to document. Case Clip icons present clinical scenarios involving specific situations, and identify the role that a rapid response team plays in responding to the situation. Legal Lookout icons present legal advice about documentation and real-world court cases where careful nursing documentation is particularly vital.
