Nursing Adults: the practice of caring is an exciting new textbook that provides all the information that you need to give sensitive and knowledgeable nursing care to adult patients & clients and their families. It has been written and edited by a team of experienced nurses, mainly from the UK, although there are contributions from Australia. It is written for nurses by nurses and thus focuses on the issues that are important to nurses. Todays nurses need a wide range of knowledge and skills to be able to think critically and reflect on their experience in order to develop professionally and personally. The textbook provides a comprehensive source of information about adult nursing that is patient-focused, holistic and evidence-based. The book has 35 chapters arranged in 4 sections. Section 1 Nursing, quality and communication addresses the nature of adult nursing and the importance of quality management and standards of care. Communication and interpersonal skills are explored with activities designed to help you develop your own skills. Section II Common nursing issues covers the clinical issues and problems that are encountered by most nurses working in most settings. Issues such as pain, stress, nutrition, infection control, sleep, wound management, and continence. Section III Nursing patients with common disorders focuses on specific conditions grouped under functional systems (e.g. blood disorders). Each chapter includes an overview of relevant anatomy & physiology and medical treatments but the focus is on assessment and nursing management, patient teaching and health promotion. Section IV Specific areas of adult nursing looks at the more specialized areas of practice, such as peri-operative nursing, caring for older adults and caring for the critically ill. Many features are included to help you explore new areas, increase your knowledge and reflect on the care that you give: Attractive 2-colour layout Common themes of health promotion and culture, age and gender-sensitive care Informative 2-colour illustrations Focused box items that address Reflective practice, Older adults, Evidence-based practice, Health promotion, Ethical issues etc Learning tools such as outcomes, key words, summary, self testing with critical thinking activities, suggestions for further reading, useful addresses including web sites and references Extensive glossary and index This is a textbook for everyone: for nursing students; for experienced nurses wishing to update their knowledge, for nurses moving to new areas of practice and those new to the UK, and for nurses returning to practice after a break. Nursing Adults: the practice of caring is not just another textbook; its a valuable source of information, and intentionally designed to make nurses reflect on and question their practice. High quality nursing care is patient-centred, knowledgeable and based on the best available evidence. Nursing Adults: the practice of caring will help you achieve that.
