Taking a structured approach that maps to the ‘ABCDE’ method of patient assessment, the book provides a one-stop-shop for nursing students that shows how to plan care for the acutely ill adult. The use of case studies and activities bring the book to life with clear and simple explanations of the relevant anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology helping to build a deeper understanding of acute illness and disrupted homeostasis.
Key features:
- Adopts a patient-centred approach that considers the full context of care, the patient’s own view and psycho-social needs
- Blends the underlying science of health and illness with practical application
- Contains activities, case studies, illustrations and figures to support a wide range of learning styles
