Traditional Doctor / Nurse boundaries are being eroded with nurses
expanding their sphere of practice to encompass assessment skills
and enable them to manage total episodes of patient care with true
autonomy (DOH 2000). More recently we have seen the emergence of

assessment in the acute medical arena. This book will support the
decision-making process and treatment that can be offered by these
individuals.
