First Aid and Emergency Care by N.C. Jain,Saakshi

First aid is one of the very important subjects in the training of every nurse today. First-aid is the assessment and interventions that can be performed by a first aider during an emergency with minimal equipment until appropriate medical personnel arrive.

•  The text goes beyond elementary information to give options and encourage the effective improvisation so important to successful first aid.

•  The text primarily focuses on the most common accidents and emergencies a first-aider is likely to encounter, making it practical for the student and extremely useful to the professor.

•  The student who plans to use this book as a course review aid should keep in mind the fact that different instructors organise their courses differently. It would be a good plan to correlate topics in this book with topics in the course as it progresses, noting any differences between the book and the course.

•  Besides the student nurse who is preparing for the basic course in nursing, others who will find the book helpful are health visitors, sister tutors and sister administrators.

•  It is hoped that students will like this book as our previous books.
