The latest title in the Real World Nursing Survival Guide series,
this fun and engaging book makes it easy to review must-know
concepts associated with hemodynamic monitoring. Its lighthearted,
cartoon-filled approach guides readers through challenging concepts
and procedures. The book begins with an overview of five main
concepts: cardiac output, stroke volume, preload, afterload, and
contractility. It discusses equipment used for specific procedures,
followed by discussions of specific aspects of hemodynamic
monitoring including cardiac output, intra-arterial, central
venous, pulmonary artery, and mixed venous oxygenation. The final
chapter focuses on clinical applications with case studies,
clinical interventions, and exercises. The unique presentation of
content narrows the gap between the knowledge a student learns
during nursing school and the wisdom they need to survive in the
real world. Material is presented using adult learning principles
and various active-learning strategies to engage readers of all
ages, backgrounds, and learning styles. A consistent chapter format
- using the headings What it is, What you need to know, What you
do, and Do you understand? - breaks down information into small
segments and facilitates understanding. Special icons for Lifespan
Considerations, Cultural Implications, Web Links, Cautions,
Monitoring and Initial Treatment help readers quickly identify
special content in the chapter. A variety of memory-reinforcing
activities such as mnemonic devices, fill-in the blank, matching,
word jumbles, true/false, and crossword puzzles promote learning
and understanding. Clinical terms and shorthand expressions are
highlighted in colored text within parentheses after the
explanation, to expose readers to terminology used in the practice
setting. Boxed Take Home Points distill years of nursing experience
into practical, "real world" advice from the experts. More than 100
NCLEX-style questions, divided by chapter, are included in a
section at the end of the book so readers can test their knowledge
and review challenging concepts. Full-color illustrations
demonstrate key concepts and principles of hemodynamic monitoring,
including various complications. Original cartoon-character
illustrations and a cartoon camel walk readers through subjects
that nursing students have identified as difficult, using a
lighthearted approach. Waveforms at the end of each chapter allow
readers to practice their interpretation.
