About the Book

Each skill is clearly presented with details of the preparation required to perform the skill. This is subdivided into Patient, Equipment/Environment and Nurse. This is then followed by the step-by-step procedure required to carry out the skill. The skill then closes with post-procedure care and, again, this is subdivided into Patient, Equipment/Environment and Nurse. Each skill also gives practical guidance in the form of Points for Practice which are clearly identified with the use of an icon. Finally, key reference details are provided as and where appropriate.
