En omfattande bedömning av hela patientens hälsostatus är den grund på vilken vårdbeslut baseras. Detta gäller inte minst personens fysiska hälsostatus. Sjuksköterskor förväntas se och bedöma patienten som en hel individ som är mer än summan av sina delar, där fysiska, känslomässiga, psykologiska, intellektuella, sociala, kulturella och andliga behov kan vara mer eller mindre i förgrunden. Det bästa sättet att utveckla denna bedömningsförmåga är att lära sig ett systematiskt förhållningssätt. Boken fokuserar på bedömning av patientens fysiska hälsostatus och redogör för bästa sätt att ta en fullständig anamnes. Den summerar också de viktigaste kliniska färdigheterna som behövs för att utveckla och förbättra förmågan att göra kroppsundersökningar med syfte att, på ett kompetent sätt, identifiera vårdbehov samt planera och utföra bästa möjliga vård. Klinisk undersökningsmetodik för sjuksköterskor är en oumbärlig handledning för sjuksköterskor i grundutbildning eller som påbörjat resan mot sin specialistutbildning.

For the student it provides an opportunity to understand how clinically effective care is provided." - Extract from the Foreword by Sue Norman - Chief Executive/Registrar, UKCC.

This stimulating text clarifies what clinical effectiveness is and explains how it can be achieved in practice. Written by experienced practitioners and academics, it presents a wide range of research and case studies that demonstrate clinically effective care and the necessity for evidence-based practice. Drawing on their own original research into clinical effectiveness, the authors highlight key issues influencing practice and examine them in the light of new research. They combine solid evidence with guidelines for practice to show how a real difference can be made to the delivery of care. This balanced and engaging text will be an essential resource for all health care professionals wishing to enhance their practice, and a valuable guide for students who need to understand how clinically effective care is delivered in practice.
