Riassunto

As a pre-registration nursing student you must be completely confident when applying your skills and knowledge in practice. Developing Practical Nursing Skills is the book you need.
Following on from the success of the first edition, this practical and easy-to-use textbook encourages you to apply learning to real situations. Each chapter focuses on a different area of fundamental care, and uses different practice scenarios from all the branches of nursing. The book demonstrates the application of practical skills, with the underpinning knowledge you need to deal with each situation.
The second edition of this immensely popular book retains its successful style and unique presentation, with useful line illustrations and a new colour photo section in wound management.
New for the second edition:
* Fully revised in line with current health policy and research

* New chapter on pain management and promoting comfort

* Colour photo section for wound management chapter

* Updated throughout
With interactive activities to aid learning and a strongly skills-focused approach, if you are a student nurse or other health worker, Developing Practical Nursing Skills is an essential resource for pre-registration nursing programmes.
