OverviewThis text provides an adjunct to in-service training and education. It prepares the nurse new to critical care nursing to accept roles and responsibilities unique to intensive care nursing. Using the Mead model of care, the book describes the needs of this vulnerable client group. The aim is to enhance the nurse's ability to deliver sound nursing care under the sometimes stressful conditions of the intensive care unit. The book systematically examines the respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological needs and moves through the pain and sedation needs to the assessment of nutrition, elimination and hygiene. This patient centred approach is enhanced by a thorough analysis of the mobility and non-physical needs of the patient. The concluding chapter gives a grounding in the ethical and professional issues surrounding this stressful area of care.
