With a brand new team of expert authors, the second edition of the
central series title the Oxford Handbook of Adult Nursing has been
completely rewritten for today's nurse. Brought fully up to date
with the latest nursing competencies and professional knowledge, it
ensures you have everything you need to deliver appropriate nursing
care and interventions. Designed to reflect the NMC nursing
competencies, it covers key nursing values and standards,
communication, clinical practice and decision making, and
professional development. The Oxford Handbook of Adult Nursing is
written by nurses, for nurses, to provide concise, practical, and
expert advice on all aspects of the nurse's role. Designed as a
comprehensive and reliable guide to the care of adults, this new
edition reflects how nurses relate to patients, engage critically
with professional knowledge, and organise and deliver appropriate
nursing care and interventions. With concise and comprehensive
summaries of key nursing values and communication skills when
dealing with diverse clinical populations, the role of the nurse is
fully detailed as a provider of clinical care, as well as a leader,
manager, and member of a broad multidisciplinary team. Clinical
nursing practice is addressed using a systems-based approach,
providing an overview of clinical conditions, investigations, and
treatments, including frequently prescribed medicines, while
highlighting key nursing practice considerations. Each chapter of
the handbook lists useful sources of further information, primarily
easily-accessible on-line resources. To help you achieve the best
possible results for your patients, the authors offer a wealth of
recommendations, guidance and information from their years of
experience. Together with the complementary Oxford Handbook of
Clinical Skills in Adult Nursing, this handbook provides nursing
students and general adult nurses with a robust framework for
thinking about, and practicing, safe and compassionate, values
based nursing. Whether the reader needs a comprehensive
introduction to adult nursing or a reliable resource to dip into
when the need arises, the Oxford Handbook of Adult Nursing will be
an invaluable companion for years to come.
