This book serves as an essential guide for all nurses caring for seriously ill patients on acute general wards and in high-dependency units. With an emphasis on knowledge and skills, the anatomy and physiology of each body system is explored, looking at the major associated conditions and illnesses and how the patient is assessed and monitored.

This book will distinguish itself because it integrates risk management techniques into managing and protecting workers and the public. The application and integration of risk into the implementation of an IH program has not been addressed in detail in previous books to the extent of how the two programs can be effectively used.

The new edition places the subject matter into a system context using a human-machine model to structure the chapters and a knowledge application model to structure the organisation of material in each chapter. Every chapter covers: Core Concepts, Basic Applications, Tools and Processes, and System Integration issues regardless of topic.

This book provides a step-by-step guide to writing in scientific academic disciplines, mapping the steps involved and providing clear guidance on what and how to write. It is an invaluable resource for those writing a PhD thesis, research paper, dissertation, or report.
