Manual of medical-surgical nursing care - Pamela L Swearingen

Manual of Medical-Surgical Nursing Care is a clinically-focused reference summarizing the key content that nurses need to know but may not always remember about commonly encountered medical-surgical conditions. Designed to be used in the clinical setting and organized by body system, it features a consistent, easy-to-use format with headings for Overview/Pathophysiology, Assessment, Diagnostic Tests, Collaborative Management, Nursing Diagnoses and Interventions, and Patient-Family Teaching and Discharge Planning. Outcome criteria are included with specific timeframes to help the nurse establish realistic treatment goals and evaluate patient care. Providing current and trusted content in a format convenient for both staff and student nurses, this Manual is truly an essential resource for planning patient care and preparing care plans.
