- NEW! Updated content reflects the latest concepts, techniques, and technology of progressive and critical care nursing, and includes an emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and overcoming health disparities, as specified in the 2021 AACN Essentials and the 2020-2030 Future of Nursing Report
- NEW! Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) boxes address specific determinants of health and offer insights into future research and policy recommendations, summarizing the impact of SDOH on critically ill patients
- NEW! Supporting the Well-Being of Nurses boxes use vignettes to introduce and illustrate a model of nursing well-being
- NEW! Informatics boxes explore the use of information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge, mitigate error, and support decision-making in nursing practice
- NEW! Disorder Summary figures in the disorders chapters make it easier to understand complex medical conditions
- Comprehensive, evidence-based content addresses all aspects of today’s progressive and critical care nursing practice, and includes references and online resources for further research and study
- Consistent organization within each body-system unit provides an efficient framework for classroom learning, for CCRN® and PCCN® certification preparation, and for reference in clinical practice
- Case studies promote critical thinking by asking you to consider a patient’s history, clinical assessment, diagnostic procedures, and diagnoses in order to solve clinical problems
- Patient care management plans incorporate the diagnosis, signs and symptoms, outcomes, and nursing interventions with rationales
- UNIQUE! Facilitating Care Transitions chapter explains how critical care nurses can ensure patient safety and provide family education through all phases and locations of care, during transitions to other units and departments within the facility, and during patient discharge to various sites (e.g., home, hospice, long-term care)
- UNIQUE! Illustrated Patient-Centered Critical Care boxes highlight the trend to patient and family involvement, with discussions of topics such as family meetings, debriefing after a code, patient diaries, creating a calm environment, pet visitation, music therapy, the transition of care, and 24/7 ICU visitation
- Pharmacologic Management tables summarize common medications used for the treatment of various disorders, along with any special considerations
- Patient and Family Education Plan boxes introduce the home care topics to teach the patient and family prior to discharge
- Expanded Building Clinical Judgment case studies are provided on the Evolve website to help you prepare for the latest nursing licensure exam
Students in undergraduate critical care nursing courses (primarily BSN and RN-to-BSN); Students in master's-level critical care nursing courses; Nurses in clinical practice being oriented to progressive and critical care units
