This pack combines the Oxford Handbook of Adult Nursing, the central title of the Oxford Handbooks in Nursing series, with Emergencis in Nursing, a book which allows nurses to identify easily which clinical problems are true emergencies, which require urgent attention and action and which are those that can wait for a later review. The pack is written for nurses, by nurses. It gives concise, practical and expert advice on all aspects of the nurse's role. Written for both practising and student nurses, it is a comprehensive and reliable guide to the care of adults with chronic and acute illness.

So you can find the information you need without delay, the book is clearly laid out with one topic per page, and written in an easily readable note-based style. Blank pages for writing notes, observations and local protocols allow your handbooks to be customised to meet your specific needs. All this is available at your fingertips, in a pocket-sized handbook with a hard-wearing plastic cover.

This pack will be an invaluable companion to both practising and student nurses. Whether you need a comprehensive introduction to adult nursing, general nursing care, or a reliable resource to dip into when the need arises, this pack will be an invaluable companion for years to come.
