Thelan's Critical Care Nursing by Linda D Urden
Thelan's Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis and Management is the established market leader in the field of critical care nursing textbooks. This textbook provides a comprehensive, detailed discussion of critical care nursing subjects; its ten units are organized around alterations in body systems. The first unit of Thelan's Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis and Management lays the foundation of critical care nursing, providing students with background information on issues that affect all aspects of their day to day clinical work. The second unit deals with concerns for specific special populations that the student may encounter in the critical care unit. The remaining units of Thelan's Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis and Management are organized around alterations in body systems. Each unit begins with a chapter overview of anatomy and physiology for that system. Next, chapters on clinical assessment, complete with specially designated data collection boxes, and chapters on diagnostic procedures are presented to guide students through the basic clinical processes for each body system. Each unit ends with chapters on major disorders and therapeutic management techniques. The disorders chapters contain nursing diagnosis boxes linked to Patient Education Boxes that help the student to apply knowledge of the diagnostic process. The therapeutic management chapters present pharmacologic management tables showing the dosages, action, and special considerations for major drugs used in treating disorders for the body system discussed. These chapters end with Clinical Applications that provide case-based examples to help move beyond theory into practice.| SKU | Unavailable |
