| Summary: | Rather than reducing critical care to basic and easily understood principles, the authors attempt to ground critical care nursing in real time, in context, and in real practice situations. They take advantage of day-to-day nursing stories that illustrate the system of long-term care, and they allow these stories to highlight the concept of critical thinking involved in decision making. If there is an emphasis on the interdisciplinary team approach, then well-educated professionals can manage the unavoidable system breakdowns that occur, not with an emphasis on management of the breakdown but with an eye toward identifying the sources of breakdown and redesigning the system. This holistic view of management in critical care allows the continued development of a professional environment in critical care nursing, for both nurse administrators and nurses. |
