Reviews
?Even though aimed at nurses and healthcare practitioners working in the acute sector, I would suggest that this book will be equally appealing to those working in primary care and the community setting whose aim it is to keep patients in their home settings while recognising and managing exacerbations of their conditions. I would also suggest that this book would appeal to junior members of staff as a source of new knowledge, but also to the advanced practitioner as an excellent update and clinical reference.? (Nursing Times, 26 September 2012) ?The book also presents a comprehensive account of the assessment and management of these patients. It covers disease-causing pathophysiology in less depth than other, comparable texts, but many emergency nurses will find it a useful resource.? (Emergency Nurse, 1 September 2012)
