The complexity of caring for patients who become acutely ill or have deteriorated can be a daunting challenge for nurses. Part of a case book series, this accessible book contains 17 in-depth case studies relating to care of the acutely ill adult. The cases combine pathophysiology, pharmacology and nursing care in realistic clinical settings, providing an engaging resource for nursing students taking acute care modules.

This handy book:

- Follows a step-by-step question and answer format

- Facilitates the application of theory to practice through the use of clinical case studies

- Considers the most common acute illness scenarios that are frequently encountered by practitioners

- Integrates knowledge of pathological processes, applied pharmacology and related nursing implications to acute illness

Nursing the Acutely Ill Adult: Case Book offers a unique way of relating theory to practice, making it key reading for undergraduate nursing students. It will also be beneficial to students in areas such as intensive care as well as nurse educators looking for a way to bridge the gap between the classroom and clinical practice.Contributors: Patrick Gallagher, Niall McKenna, Billie Joan Rice.
