The book is a friendly, interactive and visual approach to skills acquisition.
Clinical Skills: an introduction for nursing and healthcare covers the essential clinical skills required by nurses.
It offers an ideal introduction to clinical skills for adult nursing students, and it will also be useful for student nurses in other fields of practice, for trainee nursing associates and for other healthcare students who need to carry out clinical procedures when caring for people in a healthcare environment.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, the book will help students to:
develop their proficiency in carrying out the nursing procedures required to qualify as a Registered Nurse
understand when and how to provide nursing intervention and support to people in their care
broaden and deepen their knowledge through the use of realistic scenarios
apply their knowledge in a person-centred and compassionate way
reflect on their own values and learning experiences to enhance their nursing practice
improve their nursing skills by using the ‘hints for practice’ and ‘alerts’
The clear, reader-friendly presentation will help students develop the underpinning knowledge and understanding of the clinical skills they will need throughout their healthcare career.
