Emergency Nursing Bible 6th Edition: Complaint-based Clinical Practice Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979595004)

This sixth Emergency Nursing Bible updates and streamlines the original edition (it is 62 pages shorter) making it even easier to use by busy ER personnel in need of a fast and easy reference tool. Along with this, the original taxonomy and terminology have been updated. Author Patricia Ann Bemis, R.N., has carefully sifted the language of each page of the last edition to bring it up to date. For example, the patient is now the client and the current illness/past history are the client's story. Each of the 35 chapters is keyed to a different client complaint, including: -Interview questions to determine the client's story -Nursing domains and classes -Initial plan of care -Ongoing plan of care -Discharge plan of care Initial repetitive nursing are have been moved to Chapter 34, Triage in a Nutshell. Nurses deal with human responses to health problems and life processes. The 2015-2017 NANDA-I nursing diagnoses taxonomy is a way to classify and categorize these responses. The taxonomy is grouped into 13 domains, or spheres of knowledge, and contains 47 classes and 235 nursing diagnoses. Each client has a story that is different from all others. That story is what leads the nurse to the nursing domains, classes, diagnoses, and plans of care.
