Description

This Edition differs substantially from the first. Ten new chapters have been added. The main additions are a new section on orthopedic trauma, and the inclusion of pediatric orthopedics throughout the text. The book is split into two parts. Part I contains the general scene-setting chapters, this section has been expanded to 10 chapters with the inclusion of nutrition and basic principles of trauma/surgical care. Part II begins with a reappraisal of the extent of orthopedic morbidity, and then subdivides to take a pathology-orientated look at the common orthopedic problems. Conditions are explained and diagnostic and treatment methods set out, but the emphasis will be on nursing management.

  • Addresses the rationales and evidence for nursing practice, provides a sound basis for clinical decision-making based on current knowledge and understanding
  • An essential text focusing on nursing care and patient management, which reflects current practice at national and local levels
  • Comprehensive reference lists and additional reading lists provide valuable resources for readers
  • The addition of musculoskeletal trauma enhances the orthopaedic nursing focus
  • New chapters on nutrition, skeletal infections, patient admission, children and adolescent care, osteoporosis, spinal cord injuries, nerve injuries, pelvic injuries, sports injuries and over use injuries
  • Concentration throughout the text on orthopaedics across the life-span (1E was adults only)
  • New diagrams to add to the excellent ones found in 1E
