Nursing

Essential tool used by nurses and nursing students for 25 years. This 6 page laminated quick reference guide covers the need to know whether you are studying, prepping for tests or already a working nurse. Just the facts and answers arrangedand organized to have as much info possible at your fingertips in color coded sections to find what you need and to promote memorization. We have heard first-hand how our nursing guides have boosted grades, helped with passing tests like TEAs and NCLEX, reduced some stress of academic intake and how this guidehas even been stolen by other nurses from the nursing station (true story). Authored and updated by two accomplished nurses, teachers and writersJill E. Winland-Brown, EdD, MSM, ARNP andJulie Henry, RN, MPA, you will not find a more inexpensive reference that offers so much support. 6 page laminated guide includes:Components of the Nursing ProcessBasic Head-to-Toe AssessmentAssessing Lung Sounds (with diagram) Adventitious Lung Sounds & Potential CausesAssessment Techniques Percussion Sounds & Potential CausesSystem AssessmentGlasgow Coma ScaleHeart Normal Electrocardiogram (EKG) PatternGrading of Heart MurmursEdema Rating ScalePulsesSkin & Muscles Quick Guide to Skin AssessmentMuscle StrengthDecubitus Ulcer StagingMedication Administration Medication Dosage CalculationInjection Sites (with images)Insulin Types & Action TimesIV Solutions & CalculationsLaboratory Values Comprehensive Metabolic PanelCoagulation StudiesComplete Blood Count (CBC) & DifferentialCommon Abbreviations
