Clinical Observations provides readers with the understanding
needed to perform clinical observations, make accurate judgements

clinical observations, alongside the biological knowledge which
gives them meaning. For each topic, it explains the pathological
basis for variations in observed results, focusing on relevant
anatomy and physiology, genetics and pharmacology, and the basic
principles of care. A greatly expanded chapter on pharmacology
reflects the increased importance of this subject in the nursing
curriculum. Topics discussed include: temperature cardiovascular
