High-acuity Nursing

The Fourth Edition of "High Acuity Nursing" delivers essential understanding of complex patients and instructs both students and nurses on how to provide nursing care in varied clinical settings. Broken down into a series of learner-focused, active learning modules, "High Acuity Nursing" takes complex information and presents it in smaller, more accessible chunks that promote easier mastery by readers. As the modules progress in difficulty, this text addresses the multiple-system problems that nurses face when caring for high acuity patients. With a focus on concepts and principles that can be applied across practice settings and patient populations, "High Acuity Nursing, Fourth Edition" is a learner-friendly approach that will help nurses and nursing students master the concepts and confidence necessary to succeed in today's health care settings. New to this edition:

• Greater attention to problems seen in high acuity populations
• Integration of research and Evidence Based Practice boxes throughout modules
• Conceptual approach to patient care that provides readers with an understanding of rationales
• Consistency and continuity among modules that is achieved by means of a single concept or nursing application format
