Written for registered nurses in orientation, this concise,
user-friendly resource provides a complete picture of all
components of excellent patient care on a busy medical-surgical
nursing unit. It covers assessment, key clinical skills/procedures,
and documentation of care in an easily digestible, bulleted format.
Time-tested guidance about new nurse orientation to professional
practice includes "proven pearls for success." Content is current
and evidence-based, and reinforces previously mastered skills in
"key points to remember" sections. The theme of "the big picture"
of patient care is a consistent thread throughout.
Clinical chapters-organized by body system for easy
reference--present common conditions seen in medical-surgical
nursing and unit emergencies, along with focused assessments, lab
work overview, related procedures and skills, a documentation
guide, and common medications including those for pain management.
Chapters also cover pre-operative and post-operative care for all
conditions. Several "must-have sections" include an orientation
guide describing what new nurses can expect as they embrace their
new role. This section addresses co-workers and supervisors,
finding a mentor, hourly rounding, HIPAA reminders, and telephone
skills/customer relations. Another section is devoted to all
aspects of infection control, and an appendix provides a wealth of
resources and supporting information of particular value to the new
nurse. Key Features:
