Ambulatory Surgical Nursing
Learn the multidisciplinary clinical knowledge and skills needed to provide effective nursing care in outpatient settings! Ambulatory Surgical Nursing reflects the advanced procedures being performed in ambulatory surgery today, as well as the latest medications and improvements in pain management techniques. Authored by the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) and edited by well-known perioperative nursing expert Theresa L. Clifford, this text addresses all aspects of patient care, from pre-admission to patient education, discharge, and recovery, with comprehensive coverage of surgical specialties in separate chapters for easy reference. Case studies in each chapter bring key concepts to life and offer an opportunity to apply information contained within the chapter.
