Description
This title, sanctioned by the AACN, continues to be the most comprehensive clinical resource available for critical care nurses. Three
new authors, with a combined 62 years of clinical practice, have been teamed with the original authors to guarantee a well-rounded, comprehensive
and current presentation of critical care nursing. The content has been extensively revised and reorganized to make this edition more
practical for the clinical setting. Introductory, "non-clinical" content has been eliminated making the essential information easier
to find. Numerous boxes and tables areintegrated throughout, increasing the visual appeal. Plus, hundreds of line illustrations are completely
new or have been redrawn to provide clarity.
