Clinical Pocket Reference for Orthopaedic Nurses

This exceptionally useful and popular resource has been adapted and updated by the team of nurse educators from the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital London for use by nurses caring for orthopaedic patients. New sections have been added covering: principles and application of skin traction; spinal cord injury care; common childhood orthopaedic conditions; compartment syndrome; VTE. Sections on pressure ulcer risk and sepsis have been renewed. Nurses caring for orthopaedic patients, and the rest of the team on the orthopaedic ward, will find this an invaluable reference at all times. Nurse educators in the field will find this a useful teaching tool with students on clinical placement and orthopaedic nurse preceptees. See more
