| Summary |
"The structure of the book allows new students to understand the physiology underlying the patient's condition before concentrating on the priorities of interventions and nursing care. Critical Care Nursing will not only act as an excellent base for nurses new to the critical care area, but will also provide an updated review of evidence-based practice for nurses already familiar with the discipline."--BOOK JACKET |
