Book Description
Now in its Ninth Edition, this classic text and reference maintains its popular holistic approach to the complexities of critical care nursing. The book's comprehensive coverage begins with the psychosocial concepts of care and progresses through assessment and management of a variety of disorders.

Presenting theory and principles within the context of practical application helps the reader to gain competence and confidence in caring for critically ill patients and their families. As always, the patient as the center of the health care team's efforts is emphasized throughout.

Finishing School For Critical Care People,
By
This review is from: Critical Care Nursing: A Holistic Approach (Hardcover)
This is NOT an introductory text. I used after I finished my NREMT-P course, nurses should consider it after a year or two of practice. It has a wealth of information, but starts off assuming basic/intermediate knowledge of EMS/CC care. Having said that, its completeness is quite astounding - as I read it, I found myself understanding with great clarity many, many things that had been sketchy or unclear prior to reading it.

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing: A Holistic Approach (Hardcover)
I found this book after finishing my paramedic class. It really helped me with explaining some things i was sketchy on. Very well organized and easy to read. (Especially the heart failure and MI chapeters)

This review is from: Critical Care Nursing: A Holistic Approach (Hardcover)
Hudak, et al., does a wonderful job on making difficult concepts easy to read and understand. I recommend this book to all of the nursing students who need an eye opening view of critical care nursing.

A Great Theoretical Aspect on Critical Care,
By Andy "Amateur Critical Analyst" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Critical Care Nursing: A Holistic Approach (Hardcover)
Since this is the only critical care text book I've used, I have no real basis of comparison. I'll try to be as objective as possible.I'm using this book for my critical care class in nursing school. I've covered several sections of this book and can say that this book explains the material rather well for the student nurse.. and possibly the new nurse on the critical care unit. The book is well-structured and organized starting with critical care nursing in general and discussion on practicing hollistically and goals of the critical care nurse with plenty of evidence-based research to help support the future evidence-based practicing nurse. The authors then progress by system discussing assessments and common pathologies found in the critical care environment and expected symptoms, diagnostics, treatments, and how the nurse should care for the client with that particular disease. Aside from the text, countless tables, charts, and graphics are available to highlight key points and provide more indepth coverage on certain areas. NCLEX-style questions and case studies are also available to help facilitate learning. So as a nursing student, I find the text very insightful and informational when working with critical care level clients. The pathophysiologies are indepth and helped me develop a clinical picture for my clients and the diagnostic and treatment modalities were thorough. A solid text. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful
