Collins-Bride St Saxe's Clinical Guidelines for Advanced Practice Nursing, Fourth Edition is an accessible and practical reference designed to support nurses and students in daily clinical decision making. Written by an interdisciplinary team of advanced practice nurses, it emphasizes collaboration for optimal patient-centered care and follows a lifespan approach with content divided into four clinical areas: Pediatrics, Sexual and Reproductive Health, Obstetrics, and Adult-Gerontology. To support varying advanced practice roles, the authors utilize the S-O-A-P (Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan) format for an organized and accessible teaching and learning experience. The updated and revised Fourth Edition emphasizes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and the importance of understanding the unique needs of diverse patient populations. This text considers the ways that racism, transphobia, biphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, ageism, and other forms of discrimination impact patient populations and how nurses can work as allies to ensure quality patient-centered care. Key Features: Provides clinical practice guidelines across the lifespan with an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Well-organized for quick access to common patient presentations with a focus on health equity, maintenance, and promotion. Features an interdisciplinary and team-based approach to clinical practice that includes Chapters written in collaboration with certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, pharmacists, and physicians.
