Product Description:
Highly dependent patients are nursed in a variety of clinical areas.
High Dependency Nursing Care has been written for nurses caring for
these patients or undertaking post-registration courses to prepare them
for high dependency nursing. Written by a team of nurses experienced in
providing, supporting and developing high dependency care, it discusses
practical issues and explores the current evidence base for clinical
practice.
Structured in four parts, the first, Perspectives on High Dependency
Care explores the contexts of care, focusing on fundamental aspects,
like sleep, nutrition, pain management and stress, demonstrating how to
achieve quality nursing care. Pathophysiology and Treatments describes
the main diseases that cause critical illness and the treatments that
patients will often be given. Critically ill patients need to be
monitored closely so Monitoring and Skills enables nurses to interpret
and understand the information gained from observation and monitoring.
The final part, Professional Issues explores topics like Clinical
Governance, Reflection, Practice Development and Managing Change to
assist nurses in developing their own clinical practice and
professional development.
The book will be useful for qualified nurses caring for highly
dependent patients and for nurses undertaking a range of
post-registration courses. The book will also be useful to
pre-registration nurses and other healthcare professionals involved in
caring for highly dependent patients in a variety of clinical areas.
Comprehensive, clearly written and practically-based, this excellent
resource includes learning outcomes, fundamental knowledge,
introductions, time out exercises, implications for practice,
************sites and up-to-date references.
