Acute and Critical Care in Adult Nursing

Mapped to the 2018 NMC Standards and filled with real life scenarios and activities, this book develops students′ competence and confidence in managing the care of critically and acutely ill patients.

This book develops your ability to manage the care of critically and acutely ill patients, and to recognise and deal with the early signs of deterioration. Taking a practical, real-life approach to care, each chapter focuses on a patient with a particular issue – from chest pain to sepsis.
