Lippincott Nursing Procedures 8th Edition Pdf Book Description:

As a nurse, you’re expected to know how to perform or assist with literally hundreds of procedures. From the most basic patient care, to complex treatments, to assisting with the most intricate surgical procedures, you need to be able to carry out nursing procedures with skill and confidence. But mastering so many procedures is a tall order. Newly updated with the latest evidence-based research, this eighth edition of Lippincott Nursing Procedures provides step-by-step guidance on the most commonly performed nursing procedures you need to know, making it the ideal resource for providing the professional, hands-on care your patients deserve. With over 400 procedures covered in detail, the current edition of Lippincott Nursing Procedures presents this wealth of information in the most efficient way possible. Many procedures books use such categories as fundamental procedures, body systems, and other types of procedures (such as psychiatric care) to organize the material. But with the proliferation in the number and types of procedures you need to understand, such an organization can become difficult to manage. To address this, Lippincott Nursing Procedures organizes all procedures into an A-to-Z listing, making the book fast and easy to use. When you need to find a particular procedure quickly, you can simply look it up by name. No need to scan through the table of contents.

No time lost turning to the index, looking for the name of the procedure you want, and then finding the right page in the book. Once you’ve found the entry for a particular procedure in the alphabetical listing, you’ll find that each entry uses the same clear, straightforward structure. An introductory section appears first. After that, most or all of the following sections appear, depending on the particular procedure. Lippincott Nursing Procedures strengthens its evidence based approach to nursing care with an expanded numbered References section that appears in each entry. As mentioned earlier, the numbered citations are keyed to information that appears throughout each procedure. As you read through an entry and come across a bullet describing a particular step in a procedure, you’ll notice one or more red superscript numbers following the bullet. These numbers are citations for studies listed in the References section; the studies supply clinical evidence or detail “best practices” related to that bulleted step in the procedure. This is what is meant by evidence-based practice: a particular practice—say, performing hand hygiene is supported by the clinical evidence. This evidence-based approach means the procedures you’ll read about in Lippincott Nursing Procedures are best-practice procedures that rely on solid, authoritative evidence.
