and positive outcomes. Organized alphabetically for fast, easy access,
the Seventh Edition of Lippincott Nursing Procedures addresses what
the nurse needs to know and do to perform best-practice procedures
concerning infection control, specimen collection, physical assessment,
drug administration, IV therapy, and hemodynamic monitoring,
as well as procedures related to body systems, such as chest tube
insertion, peripheral nerve stimulation, and intra-abdominal pressure
monitoring.
Thoroughly updated, this edition also includes new evidence-based
entries on synchronized cardioversion, gait belt use, intermittent
infusion device flushing and locking, isolation garb use, nasal bridal
insertion and removal, pneumatic anti-shock garment application
and removal, self-medication administration practice, and weaning a
