Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis and Management, 3/e is the market-leading text reference that straddles both student and professional needs. It is notable as the first resource to provide a consistently logical body system organisation integrating medical and nursing management. Although this ground breaking approach is now much-copied, continued innovations in presentation and format, paired with an outstanding Instructor's Resource Manual retain Critical Care Nursing's position as the text of choice for students and professionals in a variety of ICU and step-down settings.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellant Resource,
By "jenniferstuart" (Pittsburg, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis & Management (with Quick Critical Care Reference) (Hardcover)
After attending several classes taught by one of the authors, Mary Lough, I purchased this book and have found it to be an excellent resource. I am new to critical care nursing, and I consult this textbook an average of twice a week. Some consider the language overly technical, but I find it to be crisp and concise.As to Ms. Wisniewski's criticism in her 10/4/00 review, I believe that the text she sites is referring to the African-American patient, and that it is the patient who might avoid pain medication for fear of addiction. She has instead interpreted it as instructions to the nurse. If she were to interpret the passage she quotes in the context of chapter 8, Pain and Sedation, she would also read that, "pain is what the patient states it is," and that "addiction rates for patients in acute pain who receive opiod analgesics are less than 1%." It is clear to me that Ms. Winskiewski has misinterpreted the intent of the writer. I have observed that many of my patients fear addiction and if we as nurses forget this possiblilty, we run the risk of undermedicating. It is our job to educate our patients so that they get adequate pain treatment. In conclusion, I have found Critical Care Nursing Diagnosis and Management to be the best text on the subject that I have seen yet, and I recommend it frequently to my collegues.
