This edition has been expanded and significantly revised to meet the changing face of emergency nursing practice. Eleven new chapters address a variety of topics, such as cultural dimensions, case management, emergency department trauma management, elder trauma, obstetric trauma, mechanisms of injury, fluids and electrolytes, domestic violence, elder abuse, substance abuse, and sexual assault. Chapter formats have been expanded so that anatomy, physiology, and patient assessment are addressed in each clinical chapter. Nursing diagnoses are highlighted at the end of each clinical chapter, and additional photos, illustrations, and tables are included throughout the text.
