. Concise, consistent format for each procedure features brief steps. Includes 100 procedures that are most often performed by critical care nurses. Client Responses Requiring Immediate Action identifies potentially dangerous responses and provides appropriate nursing actions. Standard Protocols summarizes essential steps required before, during, and after every nursing procedure. Nurse Alerts within the skills highlight important information for patient safety and effective performance of procedure. Spiral binding eases use
