Written by emergency nurses for emergency nurses, this
comprehensive, evidence-based resource covers the issues and
procedures that are often unique to the emergency department. New
developments and changes in clinical practice are incorporated
throughout. The user-friendly format features more than 350
high-quality illustrations and 150 tables that highlight essential
concepts and offer quick access to vital information. Key coverage
includes clinical fundamentals, treatment for trauma and
medical-surgical emergencies, the foundations of emergency nursing
practice, and special populations. 58 contributors offer valuable
insights from a broad range of clinical positions in rural,
suburban, and urban areas. High-quality radiographs and other
diagnostic images help you learn to identify common conditions -
especially head trauma, fractures, and dislocations. Logically
organized, chapters are grouped into six sections for quick access
to important content: Foundations of Emergency Nursing,
Professional Practice, Clinical Foundations of Emergency Nursing,
Major Trauma Emergencies, Medical and Surgical Emergencies, and
Special Patient Populations. Tables and boxes highlight and
summarize critical information for at-a-glance reference. A
separate unit on special patient populations covers topics such as
child abuse, elder abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual
assault, substance abuse and behavioral/pediatric/obstetrical
emergencies. Priority nursing diagnoses are highlighted in a
quick-reference appendix to help you focus on the most serious
problems. Five new chapters bring you the most reliable, up-to-date
information on these key topics: Management of the Critical Care

Expanded coverage of shock and sepsis provides essential
information on pathophysiology and diagnosis, with valuable

coverage of behavioral health emergencies includes new information
on agitation, substance abuse, and suicide prevention.
