This book helps adult nursing students to competently manage care
of critically and acutely ill patients, and to recognise and deal
with the early signs of deterioration. The book takes a practical
real-life approach to care, with each chapter focusing on patients
with specific problems, then interweaving the knowledge and skills
needed to care for that patient. The book focuses on developing
clinical assessment and decision-making skills so that students are
able to care for patients who are unstable, deteriorating or
critically ill, regardless of their location.
Tait and White provide a much-needed introduction to the complex
field of critical care nursing for undergraduate and postgraduate
students. Covering the essential aspects of critical care nursing,
students are asked to consider the biopsychosocial triggers of
critical illness, and are walked through a number of different
patient scenarios. Reacting to the Francis Report and other
inquiries into standards of care, Tait and White's humanising
approach to critical care places equal emphasis on the 'head, hand
and heart' knowledge; evidence, technical and ethical. The book's
depth of clinical knowledge is built and cemented through extended
case studies of critically ill patients with a variety of needs.
This breadth, along with the author's unique approach prepares
students for courses and assignments in critical care, as well as
preparing critical care nurses for clinical decision making and
practice. A must-have for anyone studying or working in critical
care nursing.
