Accident and Emergency Nursing

This comprehensive text, written by practising A&E nurses, seeks to provide the nurse with a professional overview of current A&E good practice. Divided into two sections the book covers all the common situations that may occur in an A&E department. Section one concerns itself with the various conditions that are presented and examines the clinical, practical aspects of those conditions. The second section discusses the professional issues involved in A&E nursing such as triage, the role of the Nurse Practitioner, violence and innappropriate attendance. <p><b>Contents</b><br /> </p> <p>Section 1</p> <ul> <li> <div>Trauma Resuscitation (ATLS)</div> </li> <li>Cardiac Conditions</li> <li>Respiratory Conditions</li> <li>Surgical Conditions</li> <li>Gynaecological Conditions</li> <li>Unconsciousness</li> <li>Neurological Conditions</li> <li>Psychological Conditions</li> <li>Orthopaedic Injuries</li> <li>Burns</li> <li>Paediatric Conditions</li> <li>Soft Tissue Injuries</li> <li>Opthalmic Conditions</li> <li>E.N.T.
