Description
Here?s the essential information you need to know in critical care nursing – all in one concise text! Using a to-the-point, reader friendly
approach, Introduction to Critical Care Nursing, 5th Edition, provides authoritative, real-world information on the important concepts
of critical care nursing and the assessment and technical skills associated with the management of critically ill patients. The latest
content on the technology makes it easy to learn and understand how to use the equipment you?ll use in the field. Nursing care chapters
are organized according to the nursing process framework, and you?ll find detailed nursing care plans in every management chapter. Case
studies and critical thinking questions challenge you to apply what you?ve learned, and user-friendly features throughout the text (updated
pharmacology tables, clinical and laboratory alerts, and evidence-based practice boxes) help you bridge the gap between concepts and
clinical practice.
