Adaptable to any nursing framework, this classic resource provides clear, comprehensive coverage of every aspect of critical care nursing practice. It’s organized in nine units around alterations in body systems, with a focus on evidence-based practice, collaborative management, and patient safety. The depth and scope of this textbook make it a long-lasting value that you will rely on throughout nursing school and well into clinical practice.

  • Evidence-Based Practice: Collaborative and Evidence-Based Practice: Nursing boxes offer the latest evidence-based management guidelines for both collaborative and nursing care and highlight the importance of basing practice on strong evidence.

  • Collaborative Management boxes examine the interdependence of nursing and medical practice and demonstrate the importance of teamwork in the management of critical care patients.

  • Pharmacologic Management tables in each therapeutic management chapter provide a quick summary of drug names, recommended dosages, drug actions, and special considerations for the drugs most often used in critical care.

  • Nursing Diagnoses boxes in every disorders chapter list common diagnoses in priority order for each body system, encouraging critical thinking and effective decision-making.

  • Patient Safety Alerts highlight potential safety issues related to chapter content as identified by the Joint Commission.

  • UNIQUE! Data Collection boxes in assessment chapters outline all the information required for a complete patient assessment.

  • Patient Education boxes offer quick access to the concepts that must be taught to the patient and the family before discharge from the ICU.

  • Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) boxes list the important nursing actions for a variety of nursing interventions that are part of the therapeutic management of a critically ill patient.
  • A new chapter on genetics gives you a solid understanding of this essential aspect of modern healthcare.

  • UNIQUE! Concept maps in each disorder chapter help you understand common health conditions, including acute coronary syndrome, acute renal failure, ischemic stroke, and shock.

  • Case studies address important critical care nursing topics and give you the opportunity to apply key concepts to real-world scenarios.

the book has definitely been a big help with passing the class. i had to read the book cover to cover. although the lectures helped, the book went into so much more detail and helped with better understanding. ICU students should definitely get it!

The book we received was in excellent condition but at a better price. We were very happy and my fiance has found this book as a great resource for me as he has been orienting on the ICU floor in the hospital.

It is educational and encouraging to learn more in the field of which I am employeed. I have started reading and will continue to read and review until I no longer am a nurse. This is a subject that is ever changing and continual education is a must to stay current and give good patient care.

3.0 out of 5 stars Crit care nursing text book
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2012

Arrived in good time. However, it had obvious damage to the front cover ( a chip of cardboard off the bottom front cover, and wear on the corners). This is probably because the bubble wrap it arrived in only covered half of the book. I would have returned it and requested a replacement, but I would have been out of pocket as in live in Australia. Overall disappointed in the condition on arrival, and could be easily avoided.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for ICU/ED Nurses

As difficult as my critical care course was, this book was fantastic. It really helped explain many hard concepts to me, and has been an amazing resource since I finished the course. I keep it on my desk at work and refer to it often.

This was a mandatory book for my course but I'm still so glad I bought it- I truly learned so much more about nursing.
