This book focuses on the essential core elements of nursing patients who have problems with the head or neck (such problems include airway problems, wound care, nutrition problems, communication). A conscious attempt to move the focus away from a medical-dominated stance to one in which nursing considerations are paramount has been made. It has a practice and patient-centred orientation, so will act as a guide to clinical practice. Each chapter follows a clear structure of: introduction; relevant anatomy and physiology; aetiology of problems; nursing diagnosis; planning; implementation; evaluation. The book is highly illustrated and colour photographs are included to illustrate important points.This is a subject area, which is ever expanding and developingThis book can be used as a core text for these specialist courses
