 - Excellent!! Helpful bookAs a new ED nurse this book was helpful in helping me organize my care! Rating: - great book!I don't get much practice with acute care, so I worried that it would be difficult to dredge up the facts I'd need in an emergency--exactly the kind of situation that makes your brain go on standby if you're not prepared. This book is a great little review course. Each chapter (one per common symptom) is short enough that you could turn to it in an emergency situation and get what you need quickly--the questions to ask and what the answers mean. With this book it's easy to cut down on the "oh crud, I should have asked" moments. The title sells the contents short (although it's certainly true that these are vital questions to ask in the ER)-- these are good questions to ask during an ordinary office visit, too, to help rule out an emergency situation. This book is concise, and there aren't details about which tests to order depending on the answers you get, etc, but that's not what the book is supposed to be about, so I don't consider that a flaw at all--in fact, I prefer the quick and uncomplicated review of which questions to ask, particularly because the questions are about situations in which time may be of the essence. History is 80% of a diagnosis (or more), and this book is an excellent help in efficiently getting to that 80%. |
