The latest addition to the Real World Nursing Survival Guide series, this unique resource discusses the most common health care problems seen in the critical and trauma/emergency settings - using a systems approach with a focus on current practice standards. Each chapter offers a consistent disorder format and covers a wide-range of information from emergent to critical care nursing. Organized from the most immediate and life threatening conditions, to the less emergent critical care situations seen in critical care, trauma, or emergency environments, this practical book also discusses multisystem problems.
