Clinical Nursing Practices Pratica De Enfermagem Clinica

   This well-known text provides guidelines for over 50 common nursing procedures carried out by carers in a veriety of settings. The development od competence in these practices is one of the most important aspects of pre-registration programmes, and this is one of the few UK-based texts that takes an educational approach tothese practices as opposed to a pulery procedure-driven approach.

   As in previous editions, the emphasis is on a holistic approach with the recognition tha each patient is a unique individual. this is illustrated by linking each practice to the Roper, Logan and Tierney model of nursing which is the one students are most likely to encounter in their clinical placements. Where appropriate, other models are reflected in the text.

   As well as being invaluable for pre-registration students, this book is a useful source of information for nurses returning to practice after a career break, other health-care professionals, hospitals, PG practices, community units, nursing homes and carers. It is also a useful reference for staff involved in teaching in clinical settings.

   * Input on relevant practices from current clinical experts
