students, novice nurses, novice critical-care nurses, and home-health nurses.   The most focused, up-to-date, easy-to-understand guide to high-acuity nursing in all care settings.   High-Acuity Nursing, Sixth Edition brings together the knowledge needed to care for adult patients with complex conditions and unpredictable outcomes, across settings ranging from critical care to high-skill long-term facilities. It makes critical pathophysiological concepts clinically applicable to high-acuity patients; enhances students' clinical decision-making skills; provides extensive and immediate feedback; and supports self-paced learning. This tightly focused guide has been substantially reorganized to reflect faculty and student feedback. This edition adds bulleted chapter summaries; NCLEX-style posttest items; updated Emerging Evidence boxes; coverage of oncological emergencies, hypertensive crises, and acute aortic problems; adult doses in Related Pharmacotherapy boxes; and a brand-new chapter on complications associated with metabolic stress response.   Teaching and Learning Experience This book is designed to help learners rapidly gain mastery and confidence. It provides:  Focused coverage of topics specifically related to high-acuity nursing: Helps learners gain command of crucial content without ever feeling overwhelmed by its volume and complexity Links pathophysiological principles and clinical care: Helps learners translate pathophysiological principles into care decisions, and understand the rationale for those decisions Learner-focused "active learning" with strong pedagogical support: "Chunks" complex information into small, discrete sections, provides quizzes after each section to ensure mastery, and offers extensive pedagogical supportfor more effective study.Always learning.Critical care medicineCritical care medicine.610.73068Wagner Kathleen Dorman1374722Hardin-Pierce Melanie G.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154767703321High-acuity nursing3408167UNINA
