Winner of the Silver American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year award in Emergency/Critical Care Nursing for its 9th edition!

Prepare your students for the challenges of today’s progressive and critical care nursing environments! Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis and Management, 10th Edition is a comprehensive guide to critical care nursing concepts as they apply to clinical assessment, diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic management. Using a logical, body systems organization, this award-winning text uses an evidence-based approach to address the care of patients with critical physiological alterations. This new edition features an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion to reflect the 2021 AACN Essentials and the 2020-2030 Future of Nursing Report. It also features new disorder summary figures, Social Determinants of Health boxes, Supporting the Well-Being of Nurses boxes, Informatics boxes, and expanded resources for the Next-Generation NCLEX® Examination. Ideal for CCRN® and PCCN® exam preparation, Urden’s Critical Care Nursing helps students develop the critical thinking and clinical judgment skills required for success in progressive and critical care nursing settings.
    • NEW! Updated content reflects the latest concepts, techniques, and technology of progressive and critical care nursing.
    • NEW! Emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and overcoming health disparities as specified in the 2021 AACN Essentials and the 2020-2030 Future of Nursing Report.
    • NEW! Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) boxes address specific determinants of health and offer insights into future research and policy recommendations, summarizing the impact of SDOH on critically ill patients.
    • NEW! Supporting the Well-Being of Nurses boxes use vignettes to introduce and illustrate a model of nursing well-being.
    • NEW! Informatics boxes explore the use of information and technology to communicate, manage knowledge, mitigate error, and support decision-making in nursing practice.

    • NEW! Resources for the Next-Generation NCLEX® Examination (NGN) are expanded and updated for prelicensure students.
    • Comprehensive, evidence-based content addresses all aspects of today’s progressive and critical care nursing practice, and includes references and online resources for further research and study.
    • Consistent organization within each body-system unit provides an efficient framework for classroom learning, for CCRN® and PCCN® certification preparation, and for reference in clinical practice.
    • Case studies promote critical thinking by asking students to consider a patient’s history, clinical assessment, diagnostic procedures, and diagnoses in order to solve clinical problems.
    • Patient care management plans incorporate the diagnosis, signs and symptoms, outcomes, and nursing interventions with rationales.
    • UNIQUE! Facilitating Care Transitions chapter explains how critical care nurses can ensure patient safety and provide family education through all phases and locations of care, during transitions to other units and departments within the facility, and during patient discharge to various sites (e.g., home, hospice, long-term care).
    • UNIQUE! Illustrated Patient-Centered Critical Care boxes highlight the trend toward patient and family involvement, with discussions of topics such as family meetings, debriefing after a code, patient diaries, creating a calm environment, pet visitation, music therapy, the transition of care, and 24/7 ICU visitation.
    • Pharmacologic Management tables summarize common medications used for the treatment of various disorders, along, with any special considerations.
    • Patient and Family Education Plan boxes introduce the home care topics taught to the patient and family prior to discharge.
