Techniques in Clinical Nursing, 5e Audrey Berman, Ph.D., RN, AOCN

Providing current information in a clear, concise format, the Fifth Edition of Techniques in Clinical Nursing continues to be a definitive source for clinical nursing skills. Progressing from the simple to the complex, each chapter places techniques in perspective to client anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. Applying the nursing process to each technique, it illustrates a detailed step-by-step implementation while providing a thorough overview of the rationale and purpose. Appropriate as a standalone in a skills-based course or as a companion to any Fundamentals or Medical-Surgical course with skills application, the features include:

• Current Standard Infection Control Precautions integrated into each technique.
• Over 200 "Forming Clinical Judgement" questions that applies critical thinking skills to realistic clinical situations.
• Age Related Considerations highlighting modifications and special deliberations necessary when caring for infants, children, and elders.
• Ambulatory and Community Settings - a list of modifications necessary when performing techniques in alternative settings.
• A focus on the appropriateness of delegation - which techniques at what times can be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel.
• Color photographs of real life situations.
