| Summary |
"Nurses have to be informed in order to deliver sensitive and holistic care. The new edition of The Informed Practice Nurse is fully updated to offer both the new and experienced practice nurse the opportunity to reflect on their current practice, develop their knowledge and question their role. This text explores the nurse's role in health promotion, issues of infection control and wound management. Management and ethical issues in general practice are discussed and placed in context to government directives and the dynamic ethos of nursing. The health of women, men and young people are explored in individual chapters, concentrating on health issues often neglected in other nursing texts." "The Informed Practice Nurse is invaluable for all practice nurses, and students, enabling them to improve their knowledge and understanding to improve patient care and safety."--BOOK JACKET |
