Named a 2013 Doody's Core Title!

Winner of an AJN Book of the Year Award of 2009!

There is little doubt that every ACNP in practice or in training will want a copy of this reference in their lab coat pocket."

--Ric Cuming, RN, MSN, EdD (c), CNOR, NEA-BC
Chief Nursing Officer
Jackson Memorial Hospital

Long overdue-This comprehensive critical care text will fill the void, especially for nurses advancing from BSN to Advanced Practice. The authors have covered all the basics and produced a text that provides a well-rounded knowledge base for critical care.

-Jeanne H. Siegel, PhD, ARNP
University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies

This book defines what it means to be a nurse in critical care. With this text, Acute Care Nurse Practitioners (ACNPs) will learn what to expect in the critical care unit, and how to manage various complications with patients in acute and intensive care settings.

Significant emphasis is given to the complex pathophysiology and appropriate management of common problems encountered in the critical care environment, including trauma, infections, and disease. One chapter is also dedicated to the medical, legal, and ethical aspects of critical care. Critical Care is thus the must-have reference for graduate students as well as for practicing ACPNs.

Key topics include:

  • The role of the ACPN in acute and critical care
  • Pulmonary management
  • Cardiac concepts in acute care settings
  • Managing liver, kidney, and kidney pancreas transplant in the ICU
  • Burn management
  • Multisystem organ failure
  • End-of-life and palliative care
  • Family-centered care

Love this book! I just wish that I had it while I was attending school for my NP. However, just took a job which requires care of ICU patients and I am thrilled to have found this book. The "Critical Care Pulmonary Management" chapter has a great section on vents. I recommend this book to all of the acute care NPs out there!

3.0 out of 5 stars For the price, I expect a well-edited book.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2012

I ordered this book as it is required for my upcoming last semester of class for my ACNP program. My background in critical care includes almost six years of cardiac, cardiovascular, and medical-surgical intensive care work.

I started reading the book about 24 hours ago and have finished three of the 16 chapters. My initial impressions were that the book is very conveniently-sized for carrying and reading, and reads easily. It is written primarily in a narrative tone; I don't feel like I'm reading a medical text.

Unfortunately, the compliments end there. As I have continued reading, I am consistently distracted by poor editing: awkward grammar, missed punctuation, misspellings, and subject-verb disagreements. I would estimate there are at least two errors of this type per each opening. As an example, on the last page that I read (after determining I would write this review), the following appears on page 136: "The change in temperature registered at the distal thermometer 'is then calculates' (sic) the area under the curve as the cardiac output and it is similar to dye-dilution method." This is just one of the many grammatical errors I have found. For having spent $60 on a book that claims to be a medical reference for ACNPs, I am very disappointed in the abundance of errors I've found on a cursory reading.

Additionally, as I mentioned before, the book reads very easily and doesn't sound like a medical reference. I found this satisfying at first as I am turning a lot of pages; unfortunately after three chapters (legal, pulmonary, and cardiac), I don't feel I've learned anything I didn't already know. I can attribute this primarily to my background in critical care. It may be useful for ACNP students whose critical care background is limited (or whose programs require buying the textbooks), but I would not recommend it for experienced ICU nurses or certified ACNPs.
