While high dependency care may be delivered in designated high
dependency units, it also occurs in many other clinical
environments. The book provides invaluable information for nurses
working in all acute hospital wards and departments including
recovery units, high dependency units, acute surgical or medical
wards, and accident and emergency units. It is also a useful
resource for nurses undertaking specialist post-registration
programmes (particularly in critical care), in-house courses, and
also those who are new to high dependency nursing. Some chapters
are devoted to specific clinical areas such as cardiac care and
respiratory care, with others covering broader clinical issues such
as pain management and post-operative care. The underpinning
anatomy, physiology and pharmacology are included in relevant
chapters. In all these areas there is a strong emphasis on clinical
application. Chapters on non-clinical, yet vital, components of
high dependency nursing are also included to address aspects such
as the development, management, interpersonal and social issues
associated with high dependency care. The second edition of this
highly successful textbook has been thoroughly updated throughout
in line with the latest research, clinical and policy developments.
Principles and Practice of High Dependency Nursing is an invaluable
resource for nurses and managers working in acute care settings and
sets the standard for modern high dependency nursing practice.
