Are you a nurse looking to enhance your knowledge and skills in progressive and critical care nursing? Look no further than “Priorities in Critical Care Nursing” by Linda D. Urden, Kathleen M. Stacy, and Mary E. Lough. This highly trusted and evidence-based textbook, now in its 9th edition, is specifically designed to help you identify patient priorities and provide the highest-quality care in the rapidly evolving field of critical care nursing.

Whether you are a student, a practicing nurse undergoing in-service training, or a progressive or critical care nurse preparing for PCCN® or CCRN® certification, this book has got you covered. It covers all the core topics in progressive and critical care nursing, including medications, patient safety, patient education, problem identification, and interprofessional collaborative management. By integrating the latest research with practical insights, this textbook will equip you with the knowledge and skills to expertly manage patient care.

One of the standout features of this book is its balanced coverage of technology and psychosocial concerns. Today’s critical care environments require nurses to not only be proficient in utilizing advanced technology but also to address the emotional and psychological needs of patients and their families. “Priorities in Critical Care Nursing” provides a comprehensive approach that considers both aspects, ensuring that you are well-prepared to provide compassionate and holistic care.

The book follows a consistent format, with each content area consisting of a Clinical Assessment and Diagnostic Procedures chapter followed by one or more Disorders and Therapeutic Management chapters. This organization allows for easy navigation and provides a clear progression of learning. Throughout the book, there is a strong emphasis on quality and safety, reflecting the highest standards of care in critical care settings.

Each chapter includes various boxes that provide additional insights and guidance. The Evidence-Based Practice boxes highlight the latest research evidence specific to the topic being discussed, while the Patient-Centered Care boxes offer recommendations to address the unique needs of each patient. The Quality Improvement boxes describe ongoing quality initiatives and their implications for practice, further emphasizing the importance of delivering high-quality care. The Teamwork and Collaboration boxes provide guidelines for effective communication and collaboration between nurses and other healthcare professionals, an essential aspect of providing comprehensive care. The Safety boxes offer important guidelines and tips to ensure patient safety in critical care settings. Lastly, the Informatics boxes provide additional online resources to support further learning and development.

At the end of the book, you will find Patient Care Management Plans for every priority patient problem. These care plans include outcome criteria, nursing interventions, and rationales, providing a comprehensive guide for delivering patient-centered care. Additionally, Priority Patient and Family Education Plan boxes list the priority topics to be taught to the patient and their family before discharge, promoting continuity of care and empowering patients to take charge of their health.

The 9th edition of “Priorities in Critical Care Nursing” has been updated to reflect the latest evidence-based guidelines and national and international treatment protocols. It incorporates the recommendations from the 2020-2030 Future of Nursing report, with an expanded coverage of self-care for healthcare professionals. This edition also introduces new chapters, such as the Facilitating Care Transitions chapter, which provides essential guidance to ensure patient safety throughout all phases and locations of care transitions.

In addition to these updates, the book also addresses key trends and issues in healthcare. The new Trending Priorities in Healthcare boxes highlight societal trends that affect healthcare delivery, such as limited English proficiency, homelessness, and external disaster preparedness. There is also a greater emphasis on the psychosocial and spiritual well-being of critical care patients, recognizing the importance of holistic care.

To enhance learning and critical thinking, the 9th edition includes new algorithms for Protein Calorie Malnutrition, Burns, and Pulmonary Embolus. These algorithms facilitate the use of multiple data points to design the most evidence-based, accurate, and timely plans of care. Additionally, the introduction of International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) diagnoses provides a standardized vocabulary to capture patient diagnoses and facilitate efficient patient care management.

As a bonus, the companion Evolve website offers case studies for the Next Generation NCLEX® Exam. These case studies will help you prepare for the revolutionary changes coming to the NCLEX® Exam, ensuring that you are well-prepared to pass this critical milestone in your nursing career.
