Key Features
Authoritative content is based on and matches Perry, Potter, Ostendorf & Laplante’s Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 10th Edition, making this book ideal as a quick, handy skills reference for information in the core text.
A-to-Z organization of skills makes it easy to find information quickly, with each skill beginning on a new page.
Clear, step-by-step instructions include the purpose for performing each skill, guidelines to help in delegating tasks to assistive personnel, lists of required equipment, and full-color photographs and drawings.
Concise two-column format for skills includes rationales for each step, providing the "what" and the "why" for performing the steps of each skill.
Unexpected Outcomes / Related Interventions provide troubleshooting information for common problems that may develop when performing a skill and also recommend appropriate actions.
Safety Alerts within the skills highlight important information for patient safety and effective performance of the skill.
Special Considerations address teaching, home care settings, and pediatric and geriatric patients, describing the risks or accommodations needed when caring for patients in these populations.
Gloving logo within the skills steps identifies circumstances in which clean gloves should be worn or gloves should be changed before proceeding to the next step of the skill.
Documentation guidelines provide bulleted lists of what should be reported and recorded in the patient records.
Convenient pocket-size format includes a back-cover flap for bookmarking and spiral binding, allowing the book to lay flat and stay open on the page being referenced.
