Publisher's Synopsis
The nursing profession is not slow to research and examine its own practices in order to raise standards of care. It has adopted the principles of the nursing process and responded to ideas for developing patterns or models of care that can be adapted and tailored to specialist clinical areas.;For accident and emergency nurses, this adaptation has its own specialist implications. Lynn Sbaih describes how one A&E department changed its approach to the organization and documentation of care by the adoption of a model of nursing.;The book uses discussion points to enable the reader to reflect on new ideas and the related issues, and also conveys the satisfaction of finding that, in raising standards of care, the nurse develops greater professionalism and enjoys increased job satisfaction.
