Case Studies in Emergency Medicine

This comprehensive work uses the case study approach to learning the field of emergency medicine, devoting at least one case for each section of the core content. New to this edition are cases focusing on AIDS, managed health care insurance and other financial issues, and domestic violence. Also addressed are the nurse's role in assisting patients, use of ED by patients with no primary care physician, and how to handle do not resuscitate orders. Also includes two new appendices listing references specifically of interest to nurses and EMTs.
