""Acute Medical Emergencies bridges the gap between a pure nursing text and a medical guide to emergency admissions. Practical advice is laid out in a clear, accessible style with extensive use of lists, tables and boxes to highlight critical nursing tasks and enable quick location of vital information. Case studies help link theory to practice. This second edition contains information concerning SARS, avian influenza and bio-terrorism. It provides the knowledge base for a multi-disciplinary approach to emergency medicine and will be invaluable to emergency Care Practitioners and 'Hospital at Night' Teams.""--BOOK JACKET.
