Acute Nursing Care: Recognising and Responding to Medical Emergencies
£34.20
Delays in recognising deterioration or inappropriate management of people in acute care settings can result in late treatment, avoidable admissions to intensive care units and in some instances unnecessary deaths. As the role of the nurse in healthcare settings continues to change and evolve, todays student nurses need to be equipped with the fundamental skills to recognise and manage deterioration in the patient in a competent and confident manner, as you learn to become practitioners of the future.
Using a body systems approach and emphasising the central role and function of the nurse throughout, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential issues in this important subject. Topics covered include: recognition and identification of physiological deterioration in adults; identification of disordered physiology that may lead to a medical emergency linked to deterioration of normal function; relevant anatomy and physiology; pathophysiological changes and actions that need to be taken; immediate recognition and response; investigations, diagnosis and management issues; and teaching and preventative strategies.

I’m currently in my second year studying to become a nurse and I can tell you that this book is incredible. The information is well laid out and explained and has everything that I need to know for an upcoming exam. I have recommended this to the rest of my peer group and several have purchased this themselves. The information within will stay with me for my entire nursing career and not just my time as a student, I also know several qualified nurses who have now purchased this book themselves in order to keep their skills and knowledge up to date. The book arrived quickly and was well packaged, I have absolutely no complaints.
