This full-color, extensively-illustrated, pocket-sized handbook offers both students and clinicians an easy-to-use reference to the clinical procedures that nurses need to perform daily in every care setting, including critically important client teaching procedures not covered in other books. Each skill is based on the steps of the nursing process to help students apply classroom learning to the clinical setting and is organized as follows: overview, preparation, relevant nursing diagnoses, expected outcomes, equipment lists, step-by-step implementation with rationales, evaluation, and follow-up activities, and key points for reporting and recording.
