Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Practical assessment and care planning across contemporary nursing care All nursing students must demonstrate proficiency in the Nursing and Midwifery Council standards for assessing patient needs, planning care, and evaluating the effectiveness of care and patient outcomes. Now in its Second Edition, Fundamentals of Assessment and Care Planning for Nurses adopts a practical approach with NMC proficiencies at its core, guiding readers through comprehensive history taking, systematic physical assessment, and evidence-based care planning in real-life clinical settings. This updated edition features two new chapters on assessing the ears and eyes and assessing end-of-life care. Each body system receives dedicated coverage, organised around a fictitious nuclear family that provides practical context for clinical scenarios. Socio-cultural considerations, graphs, diagrams, tables, and links to supporting literature enhance learning throughout. Readers will also find: - Coverage of NMC Standards related to pre-registration nursing proficiency requirements for professional registration - 'Take note' sections and chapter reviews designed to consolidate learning and support application of knowledge in supervised practice - Links to current literature and additional resources that extend study and provide further evidence-based support for clinical decision-making Designed for pre-registration nursing students, nursing associates, and registered practitioners updating their knowledge, this text provides a practical resource for nursing programmes and continuing education courses across interdisciplinary healthcare settings.
