Developed collaboratively by a doctor and nurse team, this is the
first text to deal specifically with nursing difficult patients.
Whether patient problems stem from mental distress and ill health,
historic substance abuse, demanding family members or abusive
behaviour, difficult patients place extra demands on nurses both
professionally and personally. Caring for difficult patients
requires both technical and interpersonal skills along with an
ability to exercise power and set limits. This text presents
invaluable practical recommendations and advice, well founded in
experience and supported by relevant literature, for nurses coping
with challenging, real world situations. Including learning points,
further reading, case studies and dialogue examples to highlight
good (and bad) practice, the book covers pertinent issues such as
psychiatric diagnoses, setting limits and establishing authority,
death and dying, stress and work. It is ideal for pre- and
post-registration nurses, providing concrete direction on the
management of difficult patients.
