Acute Care Nursing : A Physiological Approach to Clinical Assessment and Patient Care

This book is designed to provide physiological and theoretical knowledge that enables the nurse to advance their nursing clinical assessment skills and increase their understanding of patient care requirements and interventions used in practice. We recognise that many nurses have already well-developed knowledge and skills in head-to-toe physical assessment, psychosocial assessment and discharge planning. The aim is not to revisit those areas, but to add to the nurse's knowledge. Alison Pirret is a Kiwi author.
