An easy-to-use format with five distinct sections — covering the PACU, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, nursing care, and special considerations — means students get the equivalent of five books in one.

Focusing on research, documentation, and psychosocial considerations, this is the one book that can take students all the way from being a novice nurse in the PACU to preparing for CPAN® or CAPA® certification!
