Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It is a well-known text that provides
guidelines for over 40 common nursing procedures carried out by carers in a variety of settings. The development of competence in these
practices is one of the most important aspects of pre-registration programmes, and this is one of the few UK-based texts that takes an
educational approach to these practices as opposed to a purely procedure-driven approach. As in previous editions, the emphasis is on
a holistic approach with the recognition that each patient is a unique individual. Each procedure contains rationale and information
for patient education in addition to step by step guidance.
