Summary

Handbook of Clinical Skills covers the gamut, including how to insert airways, nasogastric tubes, central venous lines, and more; auscultate for heart and breath sounds; prepare patients for magnetic resonance imaging; monitor intracranial pressure; provide meticulous wound care; and interpret ECGs and arterial blood gas values. Learn about the latest technologies, such as at-home computer assessment, multiple parameter telemetry, thoracic electrical impedance monitoring, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. For each skill, you'll find a thorough explanation, equipment and patient preparation, nursing diagnoses and patient outcomes, step-by-step implementation with rationale, complications and how to treat or prevent them, nursing considerations, and documentation tips.
