    This book is the second examining the adult and elderly population and addresses the needs of the undergraduate nurse by presenting a series of classic case studies. It builds on the success of Client Profiles in Nursing - Adult and the Elderly, by the same editors. As before, each case follows a standardised layout for ease of reference and includes photographs or clear line diagrams where appropriate, to illustrate key points and structured, timed questions with detailed model answers to aid self-assessment.

    • Clear, practical approach for ease of learning
    • Written by experienced nurse trainers
    • Fully illustrated with artwork generated specifically for this book
    • Built in self-assessment that mimics the examination format and enhances the book's usefulness as a self-learning tool
