A book to help nursing students understand how to respond to acute changes in health, using case studies and the patients’ voice to bring the subject to life. It takes a systematic approach using the ABCDE method of health assessment.
Taking a structured approach that maps to the ‘ABCDE’ method of patient assessment, the book provides a one-stop-shop for nursing students that shows how to plan care for the acutely ill adult. The use of case studies and activities bring the book to life with clear and simple explanations of the relevant anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology helping to build a deeper understanding of acute illness and disrupted homeostasis.

Key features:



Adopts a patient-centred approach that considers the full context of care, the patient’s own view and psycho-social needs
Blends the underlying science of health and illness with practical application
Contains activities, case studies, illustrations and figures to support a wide range of learning styles

Sarah McGloin PhD RN SFHEA Following a number of years working on a regional neurosurgical, burns and general critical care unit, Sarah moved into nurse education where she held a number of roles including Course lead for Critical Care and Advanced Clinical Practice. During this time, she completed her PhD which explored critically ill patients’ reconstructive memories of critical care and nurses’ understanding and response to these.
