The new, third edition has been updated throughout including extended assessment section including latest assessment of risk tools: A to E, NEWS, S BAR; plus Glasgow Coma Scale, respiratory tables, shock and sepsis, and wound healing and other topics. The authors, all experienced teacher/practitioners have looked at latest teaching trends and national drivers such as NICE and Essence of Care, to provide coverage of the widening range of competencies a nurse needs to display in today's healthcare environment. This resource provides rapid access to key information that a nurse will need to provide effective holistic care of the adult patient.

Recensione

"All healthcare workers will find this book relevant... particularly useful for those who are newly qualified, returning, or undergoing supervised practice. As an educational tool, it will also support learning in pratice and practitioners who are mentoring..." --Nursing Standard

"Students and nurses will find it helpful and easy to use... Invaluable." --Nursing and Midwifery Council

The Clinical Pocket Reference for Nurses is an excellent resource for both students and qualified nurses. The third edition includes updated content on cardiac monitoring and neurological assessment and references to the latest Resuscitation Council UK guidelines. The book covers a wide range of essential information including the requirements for patient assessment, such as the latest risk assessment tools, the Bristol stool chart, management of shock and sepsis, interpreting electrocardiograms and a guide to wound classification and healing. The book is easy to use, and nurses should be able to quickly navigate to invaluable information. It is an educational tool that supports learning in practice and can also be used as a quick revision aid. The small spiral bound format makes it accessible and ideal to keep in a pocket or diary when at work. The book would make a useful resource for nurses to buy for themselves, but could also be used as a quick reference guide to be shared on a ward. Although this book does have a nursing focus, it would also be relevant to other healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists and paramedics. --Reviewed by Alison Bardsley, senior lecturer in primary care and course director for non-medical prescribing, Coventry University in Nursing Standard March 30: vol 30 no 31: 2016
