Overview

Emergencies in Adult Nursing provides a practical, accessible guide to emergency situations where the nurse is key to stabilising the sick patient. This concise, pocket sized book allows nurses to identify patients with emergency conditions and guide them in the initial management of this vital patient group. The approach throughout the book is based on the Manchester Triage Guidelines which is the most widely used triage system in the UK, Europe and Australia. In line with the other Emergencies in titles, the material is presented according to a system of four icons which are used to highlight the degree of urgency.
