Acute and Critical Care in Adult Nursing (Transforming Nursing Practice Series)

This book will help adult nursing students to competently manage care of critically and acutely ill patients, and to recognize and deal with the early signs of deterioration. The book takes a practical real-life approach to care, with each chapter focusing on patients with specific problems, then interweaving the knowledge and skills needed to care for that patient, including the nurse's role and responsibilities, assessment, diagnosis, planning, and management skill, related pathophysiology and collaborative team working.
