"Ambulatory Surgical Nursing" addresses the chronologic needs of pre-, intra- and post-procedure nursing care. It provides information on issues such as infection control, anaesthesia concerns, legalities in relation to risk management, and patients who have special health, age related or social needs. Important themes evident throughout the text include identification of risks and prevention of complications, ongoing collaboration of all members of the healthcare team, and application of a philosophy of wellness rather than illness.
