Description
The Royal Marsden NHS Trust Manual of Clinical Nursing Procedures is a classic textbook which has established its success as an excellent resource on quality care. It provides nurses at all stages of their careers with the latest evidence-based procedures for patient-focused care.
New chapters and procedures, such as Breast Aspiration and Surgical removal of a skin tunnelled central venous catheter, illustrate the continuing developments in the scope of nursing practice. Care in Context: Assessment, Communication and Consent places the procedures within a holistic framework and provides the professional, social and ethical context in which they are carried out.
In addition, the diverse range of procedures has been retained, with many topical issues including moving and handling patients, violence prevention and wound management. Within each procedure, the guidelines detail the recommended course of action at each stage, including the rationale for undertaking the specific activities. Each chapter has been extensively reviewed and revised and includes the most recent reference material.
