Managing Minor Musculoskeletal Injuries and Conditions (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Emergency care professionals are increasingly expected to work autonomously when caring for patients with minor musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. They have to be able to competently and safely take a patient's history, examine, diagnose and provide management of these conditions. Managing Minor Musculoskeletal Injuries and Conditions pulls together all these aspects of care into one practical, easy-to-read text.

Aimed principally at students undertaking minor injury and emergency care courses, this title is a comprehensive manual of minor musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, highly illustrated throughout and containing a variety of activities and exercises.

Key features:

• Includes material on study skills, distance and self-directed learning to support both students on formal courses and those working alone
• Extensive learning features, including a range of activities, hints and tips and multiple-choice questions
• Supported by a companion website with further self-assessment, downloadable X-ray PowerPoint slides, picture tutorials, practice history-taking documentation and legal scenarios
• Enables more effective management and care of patients with musculoskeletal injuries
