This book presents over 120 clinical skills and explains each one from start to finish, using a step-by-step approach with accompanying illustrations. The book deliberately focuses on the skills required by nurses caring for adult patients in a hospital setting, but the skills themselves can be adapted to any clinical setting. It is not a textbook, but more a nursing ‘how-to-do-it-book’ with the focus on practical aspects rather than why the skill is necessary. It also acts as a reminder for skills that you have been taught and to enable you to prepare yourself for new skills with the proviso that it is vital that a Registered Nurse supervises you until you have really mastered each skill and are competent to carry them out alone.
