Practice Considerations for Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioners
(3rd edition) is a comprehensive textbook for all nurse practitioners and advanced
practice nurses working in acute care. Organized in both a systems and specialty topics
approach, the text features over 350 of the most common conditions
experienced by adult patients in acute care practice.
Using a reader-friendly outline format, coverage of each condition includes
defining terms, incidence/predisposing factors, subjective and physical
examination findings, diagnostic tests, and the latest evidence-based management
guidelines and strategies. This text is a go-to resource for everyday practice, as
well as for those preparing for national certification or re-certification.
Although many practitioners may be highly specialized, this text is designed as
an invaluable tool for the entire scope of acute care including those practicing
as intensivists, or hospitalists, or in critical care, internal medicine, or emergency
department settings.
