| Summary |
"This is the first book on resuscitation in the UK written for nurses that recognizes and explores their unique perspective. The European Resuscitation Council Guidelines of 1997 are used as the basis for the scientific aspects of the nursing role, and the book also addresses the art of nursing through exploration of the human consequences and the ethical and legal issues of resuscitation." "All nurses should know how to resuscitate, as they may become involved in resuscitation attempts at any time. This book is an invaluable companion to nurses working in community hospitals and in primary care as well as to those practising in critical care units or the busy wards of acute hospitals."--BOOK JACKET |
