Nursing procedures and interventions: Textbook for bachelor's and master's degree programmes

An integral part of the training required for both study programmes is the teaching of practical skills required for further study and for the subsequent profession of a doctor or a nurse. The theoretical, preclinical preparation addressed in this textbook should create the conditions for the effective practice of nursing procedures and interventions under laboratory conditions and subsequently in clinical practice, while also reducing the risk of inappropriate or improper nursing procedures and patient interventions during further study. In addition to the practical exercises under laboratory conditions, the study of this textbook should contribute to the smooth transfer of nursing procedures and interventions from preclinical preparation through to clinical practice while internalizing the key skills required for the healthcare profession and general nursing.

The textbook contains descriptions of over 40 basic nursing procedures and interventions, supplemented by extensive photographic and tabular material. The majority of the chapters have a set structure. The introduction addresses the purpose of the procedure / intervention with the conditions for administering these. This is followed by a description of the procedure, post-surgery patient information and post-surgical equipment care. Further on in the chapter, are descriptions of post procedural complications and risks and methods for prevention. The end of each chapter or subchapter is dedicated to check questions, which will enable you to independently verify the level of your knowledge of the subject studied.
