Summary: "The new edition of this well-known and respected text provides a straightforward step-by-step account of clinical nursing procedures together with clear learning outcomes. The development of the safe demonstration of these practices is one of the most important aspects of pre-registration programmes, and Clinical Nursing Practices equips readers to deliver the highest quality care to each individual patient, safely and effectively. It is notable for taking an educational approach as opposed to a purely procedure-driven approach. As in previous editions, the emphasis is on a holistic view with the recognition that each patient is a unique individual. Each procedure contains rationale and information for patient education in addition to step-by-step guidance. Suitable for nurses learning the procedures for the first time, for newly qualified nurses needing to check their knowledge and for nurses returning to work in need of a refresher. New to this edition are references to the new 2018 NMC standards of proficiency. New Action-Rationale format clearly shows the reasons for performing each procedure. Special emphasis on: evidence-based practice, values-based care, person-centred care, health and social care integration, and interprofessional education."--taken from publisher description publisher description
