Description :
The sixth edition of this book brings together the knowledge needed to care for adult
patients with complex conditions and unpredictable outcomes, across settings ranging from
critical care to high-skill long-term facilities. It makes critical pathophysiological concepts
clinically applicable to high-acuity patients; enhances students’ clinical decision-making
skills; provides extensive and immediate feedback; and supports self-paced learning. This
tightly focused guide has been substantially reorganized to reflect faculty and student
feedback. This edition adds bulleted chapter summaries; NCLEX-style posttest items;
updated Emerging Evidence boxes; coverage of oncological emergencies, hypertensive
crises, and acute aortic problems; adult doses in Related Pharmacotherapy boxes; and a
brand-new chapter on complications associated with metabolic stress response.
For courses on high-acuity nursing intended to serve undergraduate nursing students,
novice nurses, novice critical-care nurses, and home-health nurses.
