Oxford Handbook of Emergency Nursing

This handbook provides guidance on the particular issues faced by emergency nurses. Taking a systems-based approach, practical guidance is given on common and rarer occurrences encountered in the emergency setting. Immediate management, investigations, onward referral, and practical skills are covered in a succinct format.
Emergency nursing requires rapid assessment and decision-making. Often nurses are required to make sense of considerable amounts of information and act on it. The new fully revised Oxford Handbook of Emergency Nursing third edition provides an essential resource when time is short and the need for practical clinical guidance is paramount. This edition has been fully updated to reflect new guidelines and approaches which have impacted the field in recent years. It provides clear, focused information that will aid all areas of patient assessment and management in emergency care. The concise format enables the reader to quickly locate the information needed. The skills section provides a quick summary of the many clinical skills needed in emergency care, ideal as an introduction, or refresher for skills performed infrequently. This third edition has been expanded to cover key information on patient safety and public health including human factors, disease prevention, and natural disasters. Written by practising nurses and subject experts, the Handbook continues to be a unique and invaluable companion for qualified and student nurses, and for all health care professionals working in the emergency care setting, empowering nurses to deliver excellence in emergency care.
