Description
About the Book
"Family Emergent/Urgent and Ambulatory Care: The Pocket NP is the result of three decades of our experiences as emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs). We often found our pockets filled with scribbled notes that included tidbits of things- "Don't Miss!" items and important "Tips" and essential information to include in the history and physical documentation. Although we had many excellent medical reference textbooks, we identified the need for a quick reference guide that had an easy-to-use framework for the most commonly encountered problems seen in the emergency, medical screening, fast-track, and/or primary care setting"--Book Synopsis
Now in its third edition, this quick reference for nurse practitioners and other health care providers continues to provide rapid access to key assessment and management information for adult and gerontology patients. With its concise format, the resource provides current, evidence-based guidelines for the most-commonly encountered problems found in this population in urgent and emergent settings.
The pocket guide is arranged in a logical head-to-toe format, and includes the history, physical examination, and essential medical decision-making considerations needed to walk the clinician step-by-step through a typical patient encounter. A variety of templates for dictation/documentation can be mixed and matched as needed to assist the clinician with the development of patient records. The book also contains frequently used anatomical illustrations and templates to assist in identification of normal and abnormal presentations.
