Organisational aspects of care, including moving and handling, and wound care


Safety and protection, including medicine management and infection control


Nutrition and fluid balance, including hydration and nutrition.

Designed to allow readers to develop and enhance their clinical skills with one key textbook, each chapter contains learning outcomes, recommendations for practice, case studies, activities, ‘clinical significance’ highlights and step-by-step guides to important procedures.
This invaluable clinical skills textbook is an essential reference for pre-registration nursing students of all fields of nursing.
