Summary
Unlike other nursing texts, many of which provide only scant references to length of stay and progression of care from hospital to home, Clinical Pathways in Nursing critically examines delivery of collaborative, outcome-driven health care across a time line. The care settings in this text represent the latest in health care trends, ranging from prehospital admission to home care. Content focuses on medical, surgical, and psychosocial problems specific to hospital and home care. Thirty detailed pathways cover such widespread health problems as asthma, hypertension, diabetes, sepsis, renal failure, Parkinson's disease, breast cancer, pressure ulcers, and depression
