This comprehensive text, written by practising A&E nurses,
seeks to provide the nurse with a professional overview of current
A&E good practice. Divided into two sections the book covers
all the common situations that may occur in an A&E department.
Section one concerns itself with the various conditions that are
presented and examines the clinical, practical aspects of those
conditions. The second section discusses the professional issues
involved in A&E nursing such as triage, the role of the Nurse
Practitioner, violence and innappropriate attendance.
