Goodies for Nurses Ltd. Clinical Skills

Clinical Skills made Incredibly Easy! - First UK Edition
The ability to perform nursing procedures with skill and confidence is the essence of nursing care. Mapped to the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) Essential Skills Clusters, Clinical Skills Made Incredibly Easy! presents, clearly and concisely, the essential clinical skills for safe and professional practice.
The book begins with fundamental skills covering the patient’s hospital stay, including specimen collection, aseptic technique and wound care, and medicines management. The text then focuses on procedures related to specific body systems, in which nurses have to demonstrate their competency. Each procedure is presented in the same, easy-to-follow format (equipment, instructions for patient preparation, step-by-step instructions for each procedure with rationales, and practice pointers to avoid errors and complications) to aid understanding and learning. The last section details a range of other skills essential for competent practice.
