Front Cover
Brian Dolan, Lynda Holt
Elsevier Health Sciences, 2008 - Medical - 664 pages
This edition shows nurses why they are doing what they do, rather than just how, for a range of A&E conditions. It has sections that cover potential problem areas, such as paediatrics and treating the mentally ill A&E patient. A basic A&P section is included so even the most experienced nurse can refresh their knowledge."
