Infos

The evolution of day surgery has heralded a new era of medical,
anaesthetic and nursing knowledge, skills and practice. Day
Surgery: Contemporary Approaches to Nursing Care explores the
familiar concepts within nursing, such as evidence-based practice,
patient-centred communication, management, practice development and
models of care, and uses these theoretical constructs to provide a
comprehensive overview of contemporary services and nursing
approaches within day surgery. This book is written with the
intention of providing nurses working in day surgery with a
comprehensive applied text that can be used as a reference when
caring for patients.

Day Surgery: Contemporary Approaches to Nursing Care:

* Provides a comprehensive overview of nursing approaches in day
surgery

* Utilises models of care
