Elsevier Health Sciences Essential Nursing Skills
Book SynopsisAs a nursing student you will have learnt lots of nursing theory and research - but how do you translate this into practice and apply it to the skills you need? Where do you start? What steps should be carried out and in what order? What should you do afterwards? This book answers these questions for over 120 clinical skills.Trade Review"This book covers the majority of clinical skills encountered in primary and secondary care settings.The level of detail is ideal for a student nurse from year one of training through to a newly qualified nurse. It is both colourful and informative. All subjects are well-researched and evidence-based. This is a good teaching resource for mentors to have access to when mentoring student nurses. Its layout with points for practice and comprehensive reading lists allow the reader to undertake independent study beyond that of just being able to perform the skill." Nursing Times, February 2013 "THIS IS a comprehensive little handbook aimed at nursing students, but would serve also as a reminder for those who mentor students as well a newly registered staff nurses. It is well structured and the points for practice, with their contemporaneous evidence base and reflections on clinical improvements, are the real 'golden nuggets'...All in all, a great handbook that helps to translate theory into clinical practice. It can be carriedaround and 'dipped' into as and when required. I recommend it as a must for nursing students" Nursing Management, June 2013Table of Contents1 Infection prevention and control 2 Observation and monitoring 3 Resuscitation 4 Vascular access and intravenous therapy 5 Blood transfusion 6 Nutrition and hydration 7 Medicines management 8 Elimination 9 Peri-operative Care 10 Patient hygiene 11 Respiratory care 12 Reduced mobility

Book SynopsisThis textbook draws on international contributors with a range of backgrounds to explore, engage with and challenge readers in understanding the many aspects and elements that inform and influence contemporary nursing practice.

Readers are supported to explore how, as individuals, they can shape their personal nursing identity and practice. The structure of the text is based on the belief that an individual nurse's professional identity is developed through an interaction between their personal attributes and the influences of the profession itself. Reflecting this approach, the authors engage in a conversation with the reader rather than simply presenting a series of facts and information.Organised around a series of topical and pertinent questions and drawing on perspectives from pTrade ReviewAlthough offered as a textbook, it is much more: it is a delightful dialogue between the author and reader.
