Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This book provides invaluable information
for nurses working in all acute hospital wards and departments including recovery units, high dependency units, acute surgical or medical
wards, and accident and emergency units. Some chapters are devoted to specific clinical areas such as cardiac care and respiratory care,
with others covering broader clinical issues such as pain management and post-operative care. The underpinning anatomy, physiology and
pharmacology are included in relevant chapters. In all these areas there is a strong emphasis on clinical application. Chapters on
non-clinical, yet vital, components of high dependency nursing are also included to address aspects such as the development, management,
interpersonal and social issues associated with high dependency care.
