Emergency care professionals are increasingly expected to work
autonomously when caring for patients with minor musculoskeletal
injuries and conditions. They have to be able to competently and
safely take a patient’s history, examine, diagnose and
provide management of these conditions. Managing Minor
Musculoskeletal Injuries and Conditions pulls together all
these aspects of care into one practical, easy-to-read text.
Aimed principally at students undertaking minor injury and
emergency care courses, this title is a comprehensive manual of
minor musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, highly illustrated
throughout and containing a variety of activities and
exercises.
Key features:
* Includes material on study skills, distance and self-directed
learning to support both students on formal courses and those
working alone
* Extensive learning features, including a range of activities,
hints and tips and multiple-choice questions
* Supported by a companion website with further self-assessment,
downloadable X-ray Power Point slides, picture tutorials, practice
history-taking documentation and legal scenarios
* Enables more effective management and care of patients with
musculoskeletal injuries
