Nursing Medical Emergency Patients is a practical guide to
the nursing care and management of patients with medical
emergencies involving system failure. Following an initial chapter
on assessment, the authors adopt a system-by-system approach, with
an emphasis on the clinical features of medical emergencies, their
assessment, diagnosis and treatment.
Nursing Medical Emergency Patients is a vital resource
for all nurses working with medical emergency patients, and
provides an essential companion to both Monitoring the
Critically Ill Patient and Treating the Critically Ill
Patient.
