This book is a godsend in this world of changing healthcare. Nurses are frequently asked to cover departments that they know nothing about. Now,when they are asked to work in the Emergency Department they can bring Pat's book and know how to deal with the most common ED complaints. This book explains patient care from triage to discharge in a precise, consistent and easy to read format. Every Emergency Department should have at least one copy of this book. If you work in the Emergency Department and have float nurses coming to help you GIVE THEM THIS BOOK!

As a Legal Nurse Consultant and active Operating Room Nurse I found this text to be an excellent resource. It is easy to use with each condition referenced in an easy-to-read, concise table format. The table of contents is divided into 34 alphabetically listed conditions. I highly recommend it for nurses caring for critically ill patients (includes just about every nurse these days!) as well as those needing to reference care for a particular emergency condition.

Even after many years as an ER nurse, I found this book to be an excellent resource about emergency medicine. It is nicely laid out, easy to read and full of current information about emergency procedures and medications. I highly recommend it not only for EDs but for ICU, med-surg and outpatient medical offices.
