Description
Case Studies in Critical Care Nursing contains detailed and up-to-date case studies on critical care conditions with accompanying questions
and answers for applied learning of the practice of critical care nursing. The organization of the book has been changed to mirror that
of Thelan's Critical Care Nursing, 4th Edition; the chapters in this 3rd edition are grouped according to body systems. This book allows
the reader to hone vital skills necessary in a critical care environment, such as assessment, critical thinking, decision-making, and
judgment. Additionally, this text provides an excellent resource to those practitioners who want to update themselves on current critical
care practice prior to taking the CCRN examination.
