The full-color revised reprint of the fifth edition of this comprehensive resource offers complete coverage of more than 200 nursing skills in a two-column format with rationales for each step. This new edition emphasizes evidence-based practice and features delegation considerations, new unexpected outcomes and related interventions, and long-term care and home care considerations. In addition, new skills include using small volume nebulizers, applying pneumanic compression devices, placing a client on a rotokinetic bed, administering continuous subcutaneous medications, and irrigating a small-bore feeding tube. Plus, we have added the new 2002 CDC Hand Hygiene Guidelines.
