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.
